Even if you give Cejudo 2 and 4. Are you seriously giving him 5 because he got one takedown with no control.

Yeah. When he said "new" my first thought was "whaaaa?"

It was close but its a bad decision.

Honestly don't have any complaints about that score. It really was that loving close of a fight. I did think Mighty Mouse won.

I agree. Mighty Mouse will get a rematch for sure though

Oh hell yea he will. This is a good trilogy with 1 a piece now. But I wonder if they will get Cejudo someone else first or straight rematch.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
hmm. it's one of those fights where i can see cejudo winning three rounds but saying he 'won the fight' just doesn't feel right. i don't think that tepid as gently caress top control should count for as much as it obviously did but who cares. it was a good fight, and the division just got an injection of interesting.

I thought fight was ok and had some good grappling scrambles but I wouldn't rate it amazeing. Feels like there's better DJ fights.

Also, thought he won.

I don't even think you should give Cejudo round 2. He got a takedown and had a minute of top control where he for nothing when he was getting pieced up that whole round.

MMA is the hardest sport in which to stay on top. Woodley is now the longest-tenured champ at two years and six days.

E: actually I guess DC is at LHW if you count his reign as unbroken thanks to Jones' fuckups.

Yeah that's my thought, a few minutes of top control at the end of a few rounds winning a title fight seems wrong

He landed like 3 takedowns round 3. He didn't do anything with them, but they were takedowns nonetheless. I wish they didn't seem to be weighted so heavily when Johnson got up immediately, but here we are.

the judging recently has been shocking to me personally. it used to be that even if i didn't agree, i could sort of see where they're coming from. lately though it just seems that two of the three judges are not watching the same fight as me and it's happening with astounding regularity.

Great fight and I guess it all works out in the end. You get the trilogy, you inject SOME life to a stale division, and you have the champ wanting to fight the belt in the next weight class. (though it's way less appealing that it's Henry and not MM lol)
