The PPV main card, as always, starts at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

30-24? I don't remember Smolka doing anything significant besides flailing around.

Not 30-24 especially with them not using the new scoring system.Probably 30-26 with the old system.I thought Las Vegas did use the new ones?I guess I remembered wrong.

BTW Nicolau's corner just shouted: "what a comeback!" (in Portuguese) as the decision was being read.

Nicolau replied: "I didn't know I was ever out".

@TraeBlack sometimes a 30-24 is warranted when the fight is completely one-sided, with one of the fighters failing to get any kind of offense going whatsoever. Example: Quarry vs Starnes.

Vettori by submission is 5/1 but knockout is only 2/1 when 2 of his wins were by knockout and 8 by submission

What are they booing for? This is an extremely fair decision. Hell, that's what I scored.

Vettori's punches are so weird it seems his technique leaves no room for power. Like a bodybuilder throwing a punch. Fun fight though.

I thought Vettori edged it for the win, but hard to dispute a majority draw.
