The Welterweights absobloodylutely stole the show! They didn't just come to win, they came to fight and what a slobber knocker it was! Lawler and McDonald stood toe-to-toe and threw bombs at each other. Lawler lived up to his name of being a Ruthless champion as he landed shots and combinations from every angle possible. Rory, though, refused to give up and fought fire with fire.

That staredown at the end of the fourth round is still the most badass moment in MMA history.
