All in favour of "Alberto Rodriguez suffered a career-ending injury during this fight"?

[The Rocketmen]

Aye. I also love that he still managed to get 3 punches in. BUT It's equally awesome that in just 63 seconds, Anderson Silva took 3 punches to the face, delivered 4, locked in a lunch, and then nailed him another 14 times before he died a horrible, horrible death.

[The Sandmen]

hahaha.

Nay. Anderson may have finished Del Rio off quickly, but no injury occurred... lol #BlameAnderson

[The Mighty Ducks]

[The Sandmen]
