I thought Benavidez might of won the second two rounds but they were close enough I’d definitely not say it was a robbery..just a real close fight. It was basically a draw. This was the only fight I picked the incorrect winner of and I’d love to say robbery..but I simply wasn’t.
Romero definitely got **** in by judges but it’s hard to feel bad for the guy when he missed weight again. I thought the two rounds he won both could’ve possibly been 10-8s but I though the first could’ve been one too...possibly. I definitely think one of the two should’ve been a 10-8 Romero though so I think it should’ve been a tie. So I’ll go with Romero.

Swain pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I thought Joe B did enough but I am happy with the decision ((except for the 30-27 part - how do you give the last round to Pettis?)) as I think Joe is stating to look his age and I want to see how good Pettis gets, the result means that we get the fights we probably should. Tai won a 3 round fight over Arlovski so nobody can say he isn't legit, he lasted 8 mins more than I thought he could. Esparza, who cares? she won a split last outing. What goes around.
Hard not to feel bad for Romero. I thought he was going to finish my no.1 guy several times, got the ol' heart going. If he had have won the decision, we'd have a hell of a trilogy. Those men show up to fight. Holy ****! That was awesome. It was so good that I barely care CM punk was allowed to fight on Overeem's blood,

Also thought Benavidez won since Pettis keep moving back and barely landing.

Though the commentary seemed up on the air and probably more complementary towards Andre and he landed frequently, I felt Tui had him backing up and landed the more devastating dhots/combos. I know Tui got busted up but I felt Andre looked far more phased and actually rocked over cut up. JMO
Very close fight though. I can't really fault that outtake.

I stick by thinking Arlovski won, I remember looking at the strike total on the screen in round 1 or 2 and the end of round 3 and saying there's no way Tuivasa has landed that many shots on Andrei. The commentary is moot to me since I criticize all the commentators constantly for the bias and the pointless meandering commentary.

Esparza and Benavidez lost IMO.
Romero got robbed because for some reason the refs didnt score any of his rounds a 10-8.
I'm fine with Tuivasa because he had the only takedown and the only knockdown in the fight.
