And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I don't think that's nuts, Moreno's corner thinks so too.

love Pantoja's method of getting to the hips by simply eating a punch and diving forward

I don't know how the judges are going to score this round but I feel like it'll be the lynch pin round. Moreno smashed him standing by Pantoja was able to stall for a long time with the grappling and effectively take the striking away.

Somehow Moreno looks like the winning fighter so far but he's probably lost 3 rounds.

Yeah, Moreno's got the momentum and energy going into the fifth but I think he needs a stop or a 10-8.

This is nuts. The guy who's the most beat up looking is probably winning this right now 3-1.

I think Moreno took the 4th. Pantoja didn't get much done on the ground, just a bit of control, and the ground wasn't all one sided. Moreno heavily outstruck him and did a bunch of damage.

That 4th round was really close but i think its 3-1

It really depends on if the judges think wrestling is real or not

This reminds me of Volk v makhachev where Pantoja has done enough to win the rounds but he's losing the fight under pride rules and will struggle to survive the 5th.

Moreno's landing so much but the whole fight to me has felt like moreno will just crumble to dust into the canvas from one dumb little thing any moment

I'd go 4-1 Pantoja, but this feels like a fight where no one's going to be really happy with the scoring.

But what a loving fight, man.

Kindof a weird finish, but goddamn, great fight.

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