Enjoy!

Great warm-up.

Fireworks already :D WIth four losses in a row and just one win in his 8 fights since coming back to the UFC I think he'll for sure be cut now.Kind of sad tbh,the guys pulled out of one fight in his career that's listed and that wasn't even in the UFC.In a world constant pull outs and fighting infrequently Burkman really is one of the most consistent fighters as far as activity,never pulls out,will fight on super short notice and at multiple weight classes so I feel bad but it is what it is.

2nd round was close Brooks took rd 1. I personally have 20-18 Brooks though i wouldn't be surprised to see rd 2 swing the other way.

I give Shelton the 3rd. It will depend on how the judges scored the 2nd.

Really should just come down to the 2nd round and it was super close,i'm leaning Shelton 29-28.Not the most exciting fight of all time that's for sure.

that was a bad decision. Brooks didn't do enough to win that fight. He spend the last two rounds just circling around waiting for the right moment.

I probably would have scored that to Shelton, but the second round was close.

@vazio It wasn't a bad decision. You could make an argument for either fighter. Brooks circling, Shelton caught waiting most the time neither put a big stamp on rd 2. Rd1 qas definitely Brooks, rd 3 was definitely Shelton but he had Brooks hurt and failed to capitalize and went back to waiting and waiting and waiting.
