Props to O'niell bell, genuinely did not see that coming!

Another close one between RJJ & Ward (both fights cuts stoppages I believe?), this series will be settled at some point.

[gilgamesh]

New WTF Champion Marco Huck!

Been a rough season for Huck up to now, but I think I've found something he can make his mark with through this title.

[armageto]

Hats off to Crease for taking the tough matchup with Calzaghe. I've noticed a lit of champs have been bottom feeding this season....

Was a pretty close fight up until the stoppage.
