Two 30 - 27s? That's one of the worst judges decisions I've seen.

I think I figured out the 30-27 scores. The judges think this is golf.

I guess these 2 light-heavyweight fights on the main card are supposed to be showcasing the upcoming contenders in the division, which really shows how sad MMA is above 185....maybe even 170 really.
