In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Daniel Maverick!
A very excited looking Daniel Maverick rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
Chase McDormit was interviewed post fight and said 'I think I drank too much before the fight... I need a beer.'.
