29-28 Pantoja. 

@mikey Looks like the same fight as the one the majority of the judges were watching.

Great fight to have a debate about judging and scoring. 1 & 3 could've went either way. Rd 2 was pretty clearly Pantoja's.

Nice win for Pantoja.  Real bright future for him, and Shelton as well, in the UFC at flyweight.

Pretty sure everybody agreed with me in the chat as the fight was happening that Shelton was edging out some of those rounds, especially the 3rd. The 1st round I thought was clearly Shelton's too, took him down several times, outstruck him too, this decision was ****.

That was anti-climatic.  Still, good win for Lima I suppose.

Lima was very clever taking advantage of that slip.

Great finish.

Kimball really doesn't belong at 205 imo despite his last few fights being there.It's not just his body,I know some guys just aren't ripped and carry extra weight,but he fought most of his career at 185.Not sure about earlier in his career but I remember the Njokuani fight in Bellator was originally set for 170 lbs,but could have always been a 180 lb catchweight and just thought to be 170.

Njokuani has only fought at 170 I think 3 times in his last 10,two of those catchweights (which is probably because of him knowing he couldn't make 170 for the fights) but long story short iirc it was set originally for 170.So long story long,I really don't think Jeremy belongs at 205 and imo could maybe even make 170,but for sure should go at least back to MW.I watched pretty much his whole career,his performances have been kinda all over the place so I really don't know what kind of potential he has,sometimes he looks great and sometimes pretty ****.

Big fight for Spicely here. He got that upset win against Santos. Now he has a chance to really establish a foothold in the division.
