In favor of your winner, by split decision... Jupiter Jones!
Jupiter Jones is the new bantamweight champion!
Jupiter Jones decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
