In favor of your winner, by split decision... Fook Man! Fook Man retains his welterweight title! A relieved looking Fook Man thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it. In defeat, Kevin Hart stepped up to the mic, saying 'Hey Necktat, keep your fling on a string.'.
