*****Wanderlei Silva has broken the record of most damage caused in a fight
*****Wanderlei Silva has broken the record of fastest KO
I'm leaving the "records" in, because they are kinda funny. Every KO is our fastest KO, every damage is our most damage" etc. Because its our first event.
Anyways, this fight. This was pretty good, but Wanderlei had his shit together strike/punch/power-wise it seems, and he was doing damage to the Anderson. Now Anderson has officially become Anderson Smitherton, and Wanderlei has retained the right to be called...SILVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
