Unbelievable! Joe Say All Doe lost this fight! Betting sites will explode!
Alexander Volkanovski wins the Lightweight title!
WOw. Volkanovski just completely had Jose's number in this one, pretty much fight from the start. Aldo did things, and made a fight of it, but this was still The AV Club's fight to lose after the opening bell. Has the LW title picture just burst wide open? or was it always this wide open? Someone, somewhere is wide open, so lets just all agree that wide is the open that binds.
