I agree, fair loss or not Wanderlei took it in stride and was very classy about the decision. I originally scored it a draw, after watching it a few more times I think Wanderlei won a close decision. Their was one moment that made me extremely proud. The last ten seconds after Rich got that takedown(extremely overvalued by the way, didnt do anything with it and Wand got right back up), Rich was holding on just waiting for the round to end, and Wanderlei just started swinging wild back elbows, doing anything he could to try and win the fight with anything he had. I saw that and smiled and said out loud:"He's still got it." I was very proud and he fought like a true warrior. He can still hang with the big boys, and I saw The Axe Murderer still inside him. So watch out 185, The Axe Murderer is coming to knock you the fuck out.
