skelliher If you watched that Jared Downing fight I don't think you could say he's been exposed in anyway different than before,we saw his whole game exposed there in full.He's improved a ton,but clearly not to that top top level imo or as good as many see him.


I assumed it was going to be another questionable palmer decision but I think he might have gotten the nod there.

48-47 Palmer, but a lackluster showing

Palmer should retain 3-2. Close fight, but Almeida likely gave the fight away in R3. Three TD's, too cautious on the feet. Unfortunate. He was doing so well and didn't really do much in the last two rounds.

I think Palmer did enough to earn a 48-47 and keep his belt. I have him for rounds 1, 4 and 5.

Uh okay.  While unexpected, I don't mind the result.  Not a stellar fight though.

Palmer has no one to blame but himself on that one

Oddly-consistent scoring on this one. Don't feel strongly about the decision either way. Bleh card overall.

really unexpected! I'm ok with the result, though. Almeida pressured all fight long, Palmer got lots of takedowns but couldn't do much with it.

I wouldn't call it a robbery, but I don't agree with the decision. Wonder if that sets up a rematch given how close the match was. Didn't think the champion was beaten decisively, and I'm neutral towards Palmer.

I feel like the 10-must system was favoring Palmer, but a Fightmetric score would've favored Almeida. Overall I guess I'm glad he got the nod.

@vazio I agree. In my scorecard I gave Alemida three rounds, but didn´t think the judges would give the rounds to Almeida because of the takedowns in which Palmer didn´t do much. Terrible season for Team Alpha male

The last two rounds got cut off but if they went like the rest of the fight and really fights on this card I really don't care. One good moment on the entire event.

Looks like I was right. Sefo's booking a rematch.
