    Personally I agree with him. The timing for crowning a Russian champ with what's going on in the world today seems off.

    Isn't he Jamaican? I thought the Queen of England is the leader of Jamaica.

    How is Biden coming to play?

    I noticed these trends in the UFC:
    Flyweight and Bantaweight division are vulnerable to bad decisions since those weight classes are very face pace.
    Heavyweight division has the high chance of an underdog winning since the KO power is the strongest at that weight class.
    Fighters that defend their UFC belt has a high chance of winning.

    Yan got robbed! Won Round 1 and obviously won 4 & 5. TJ will take out Sterling unless Yan gets a rematch first.

    Exactly.

    But was close. There was a "rogue" first round judge and that made the difference.

    And like Gunshard alluded to, to take another man's belt, you have go above and beyond. Whether we like it or not, the bar to get a victory ends up being different for a title challenger than just a regular fight.

    The challenger has burden, almost like a burden of proof.

    Hope these guys fight again.

    They need to fight again.

    Laying on the ground w your leg wrapped around the opponent is not fighting, it's defensive and shouldn't be awarded so highly.

    For 6 minutes in rds 2/3 the two guys literally laid on the ground w no striking. That should not be awarded positively.

    It all depends on the judges. Some judges favor wrestlers than strikers. This is why Madsen, Kern and Sterling won even though they got outstruck. It appears the judges had a bias favoring wrestlers last night. It's not always like that. I have seen fights where the wrestler wasn't rewarded and they went purely with strikes. Always cap the judges in these fights so you can win the coin flips. Or if a wrestler is facing a striker bet the split decision prop.

    Wow, you really don't understand MMA.

    What you say didn't even happen, or the ref would have broken them up.

    Your not even considering the fact that there are two fighters on the mat.

    I'm in no way defending the judges decision, but I'm not going to try to teach you, I'm just going to pass.
