What Judges would score it 3-2?
No offence but round 1 was the only "good" round Roy had.

Two judges gave Nelson two rounds? Wat. How? I thought that was a pretty clear 4-1 for Barnett, atleast.

I think it was closer to a 50-45 than a 48-47 fight.

49-46 Barnett for me. 

Good fight. Not pretty, but I kinda dug it in an old-school, down in the trenches sorta way.

Sorry for unburying this thread. I'd just like to say that Mousasi was caught and that this fight didn't show anything from Hall that we didn't know he had. He will probably be a colossal underdog again in his next fight, and it will probably be warranted.

By the way, what about a rematch against Kelvin?

@Idrownfish  That won't happen, unfortunately.  Gastelum got the green light from Dana and company to make one last run at 170; even though he has struggled with weight cuts in the past, and it certainly won't be any easier now that IVs are effectively banned from the UFC (unless he's able to convince USADA and WADA that he absolutely needs a TUE for an IV to cut weight). 

 Personally, I think Hall should be given another serious test like Derek Brunson, Tim Kennedy, Thales Leites, or Lyoto Machida.  He's shown us a flash of what he can do against a top 10 opponent (on two to three weeks notice, no less), and has won four of his last five; with his only loss in that run being a razor close decision loss to Natal.  I say let's see Hall get another big name opponent and see what happens.

He wasn't any better the first time Hall somehow lost to him.

Hall was incredible, but if he and Mousasi fought again, I'd definitely still take Mousasi.
