29-28 Collard. This will more than likely be a split for someone though.

Except for he outlanded White by a 2-1 margin in the first ... White landed the harder shots though.

I mean I'll admit the 1st could've went either way, I was probably biased.

But to say that Collard "clearly won round 3" is a pretty ridiculous statement.

I thought White was gonna find himself without anything left in the 3rd and get clock by a "how the **** is he still there and bounding" Collard.




Guess Alex has better cardio than I thought.

Sergio hasn't really done anything to impress me thus far in his UFC career.

Sometimes Ben a corner will tell their fighter they lost rounds in order to get some urgency out of them.

Let's see if Sergio has improved that defense. He's a bit of a paint-by-numbers kickboxer, which is interesting seeing how his older brother is one of the most dynamic strikers in MMA history.
