Funky. Another great fight though. We've had so many great ones this card. Ben got far more damage done on Wanderlei then I figured he would, and even had him in the dark orange at one point. But Ben Askren is no Wanderlei, so Wanderlei Silva'd Askren later on and made him pay for that orange with an uppercut that pretty much knocked his clown hair off. Fans in the 6th row took it home for a souvenir. True story. It says so in the bylaws.
