He ate those kick bc it WAS a 3 rounder....they were not going to add up in time to do damage...oh its red and hurt lmao...get outta here..He didn't do any damage to masvidal...clear case of point kicking and punching.

I know I was on Iaquinta but, yes it was obvious Masvidal clearly won round one without a doubt. Was it enough to warrant a 10-8? No.

Onto the second round, it was the closest of the three and it could've gone either way, making a case for both fighters. The was the most difficult round to judge.

Then the third, Masvidal seemed very content to coast and play it safe from second and evidently in the third round. He felt the damage he inflicted in the first was enough to get ahead but he only scored 10-9 in the first. Iaquinta was hurt but he was not in danger of being finished.

If anything, Masvidal was lucky this wasn't a 5 rounder because either his leg was going to give out or Big Al was going to take him out.

Wasn't a robbery at all, a split was the correct call.

Like I said, a split because the second round was a toss-up, could've gone either way. Are you dumbfounded again? Hello?

What no fails to mention in this discussion is that the 1st round probably should have been scored a 10-8 round as Al was rocked and out on his feet and just survived. Completely busted up and bleeding... I watched the fight again and Masdival dominated that 1st round completely and probably should have finished him. Ref was so close to stopping it too...

It was a robbery for sure or at worst scored a draw IMO if you must give Al that second round based only on octagon control and aggression and not on striking accuracy when scoring.....
