Izzy vs Rob is kinda like Volk vs Max, except Whittaker was actually robbed in the second fight.

Didn't bet this card, rarely bet on MMA now. Not sure how much is even in my sportsbet account, few hundred bucks or something tops.

It was a good event.

3/4 Aussies won, Bam Bam got a huge win. Disappointed with the dec for Izzy but can't hate it and I'm happy with Rob's gains since the last fight.

Explain to me how Izzy or Rob couldn’t of won the decsion or stop crying about it. It was just a close fight. People fail to realise that people have diffrent oppion to them l, and in judging both were valid 

I thought Izzy edge  on the feet, but Rob stole it with the takedown, but Rob did nothing with the takedown so should they score much? But if you can tell me that one man clearly won the the decsion, they are lying 

Also watch it with a bro Rob crowd with no commatary at a pub, so if anything I’m bias for Rob as I love Rob

You said rose beat Weili, Duck. I don’t think you are the arbiter of scorecards.

The way I see it, Rob landed the better shots, especially to the head and body and secured takedowns. Apart from R1 which was all Izzy.

Adesanya was the one leading the dance and pushing the fight, and he did land some solid leg kicks. However I don't think they significantly impacted the fight. That said, the shots and TD's Rob landed didn't really either.

It's a glass half empty/half full thing. All things being equal, I wouldn't have felt great if Adesanya has lost his belt on the back of that performance, even though Rob is my favourite fighter.

They'll do the dance again at some point.

It was a Tough Fight to Judge

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 565 Points   |   Tied for 2056th

I just wanted to follow up on a post I made about Title Fights in Houston, where the Judges are only responsible to score Rds 4 and Rd 5, even though they turn in a scorecard after each round? I haven't looked at them yet but I am willing to bet 2/3 gave Izzy a 29-28/3, and the 3rd 29-28 for Whittaker, and I am 100% positive because you will eventually see that Rds 1 and 2 are typed in, and that is the reason why 48-47×2 and 49-46, and there are several Fights that follow that criteria and I have spoken with Big John on IG, and he is aware of it, and Judge Jeff Rexroad is the ascending Judge tonight in there Prelims and he is the one who is under investigation for Gambling on Fights, so if you want to, check it out. I was only able to see the Main Event and Co-Main, being a Cop/Pig sucks, hours wise. ✌

Whittaker vs Hermansson makes no sense, he’ll either get Vettori or Strickland.

Adesanya would utterly mutilate Jared effortlessly in the most non-competitve matchup of his career. Strickland would be more interesting.
