In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Meat Loaf!
Meat Loaf is the new bantamweight champion!
Meat Loaf looked relieved post fight as he said the following; 'Fuck yaaaaa! This feels so good to have the belt around my waist again! I knew this day would come if I just kept following my dreams! I want to first thank a broken Halo Pride for being the best alliance I this multi verse, and also my manager Brandon Loveladdy for believing in me! Thanks also t'.
