In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Viserys Targaryen!
An intense looking Viserys Targaryen took to the microphone post fight and gave a little speech: 'Suckland McHasBeen no longer has what it takes to compete at this level. He woke the dragon and it left him broken and beaten. A fighter like Suckland is no match for a Targaryen. Maybe he should go to a second rate org so he can string a few wins together, ending his career on a high note.'.
