I think I’d give Pantoja this 28-27, but it could go either way

Volk would have to put on a Silva vs Maia-tier lovely fight for this card to not be one of the best of the last few years. Even then, I dunno, this has been incredible.

I think Pantoja has taken this but I think we need another fight.

the problem with that is that Pantoja is 2-0 vs Moreno going into this. This is their trilogy already.

I think 3-2 Pantoja, but only the first two were clear either way.

I don't place too much weight on it in general but the UFC sig strikes stat seems way off this time.

pantoja had 3 clear rounds but the way it happened it felt like moreno was going to get the nod

Amazing fight, great performance, and while I obviously wouldn't be mad at a rematch because it was close and great I admit I don't really want one

We just had two straight years of flyweight rematches and even this was technically a flyweight rematch, let the division breathe again.

Yeah. I'd rather see some new contenders get title shots while Moreno rattles off a win or two before getting another chance.

Pantoja just wants you to know about him and you'll like him too. He likes Lego! He buys his 4 kids Lego.

Also lol at that scoring. But whatever.

I had the rounds the same way as the (sane) judges — I thought Moreno did enough damage to outweigh the control in the 4th but not in the 5th. Not the same round at all, contra the commentators.

I think that the most recent fight that everyone's actually seen was close enough the history won't matter.

Great fight. Moreno never looks like he has punching power. That said, he does land constantly.

49-46 Moreno is someone deciding that wrestling and control don’t matter if you don’t get any damage done, I guess

to be fair they were arguing this on commentary and it drives me insane

"Sure, but does holding back control and punching an opponent in the side of the head REALLY count?" yes it does motherfucker how are we having this conversation

Omalley is going to get wrestled to death and then Aljo is going to vacate and Omalley is going to get wrestled to death for the vacant title again by Merab
