I think it was 29-28 Kanehara but that second round was close.I think he got it but it wouldn't be a robbery if Kanehara lost,just wouldn't agree.

Don't like the decision. Yahya took only the first round. The remaining rounds were only about survival because of his miserable cardio.

Thought it was EASILY 29-28 Kanehara. He won that fight, no doubt.

Guys defending Yahya ... that was one of the worst fights I've seen in my life. The first round was okay. The third would make me embarrassed to show to a non MMA fan, with Rani crawling on his hands and knees, looking like he was trying to hide under Kanehara's legs. It was a terrible, terrible performance and his conditioning is dog****. It wasn't the body shots. He looked like that after the first few minutes.

I ask again, HOW IS THIS UFC LEVEL COMPETITION???

How can you win a dec by stalling someone on the ground? and getting more points from a guillotine that never was dangerous?

Sometimes I wonder if all the MMA judges have a background in wrestling with all that wraaastling love. It makes me puke!

Nah easily one of the worst fights to date is probably Maynard/Guida IMO but that was pretty bad.

Three obvious rounds.  first to Yahya, second and third to Kanehara

Kanehara got screwed out of that win...and I got screwed out of my perfect underdog pick. Yahya has to have some of the ****tiest cardio of a lighter weight fighter, it was bad when he was at 145 too.

At least Maynard/Guida had Maynard losing his **** and putting his hands down talking **** then eating a headkick that clearly hurt him but Guida was so used to not doing damage he didn't notice

Moras looked terrified during the intros. Let's see how this goes.
