Whittaker is the best MW champ in years. Never gave up, never stopped coming forward.

What a warrior. What a champion.

lol whittaker took 1,2, and 4. No other round was a ten eight. A ten eight is when the other guy lands nothing significant. If you think that's a bad decision you don't understand how MMA is scored. Period.

a 10-8 under the new rules, which were used, is when there's a clear round winner. It takes 10 seconds to find Big John explaining the new rules on youtube.
