The 28-27, as silly as it sounds, actually makes sense based off the 2 point taken away, but god damn, what a horrid fight. Darko has shown to be a 1 round fighter solely for his inability to properly pace himself for a potential 15 minute fight, and Kennedy has consistently been one of the most boring fighters UFC has signed in quite literally years. They must see a future superstar in him or something, cause all he has done so far is put on lackluster performances in boring fights.

You can't win with an illegal strike. If it was unintentional the result is a NC if it is ruled intentional or egregious such as in this fight it would be a DQ. Though that is moot since Kennedy finished the fight.

I think kennedy is not doing that bad considering is age and is MMA experience. 205 pound does not have a lot of talented fighter.

Pettis just KOed Thompson and is ranked directly below him. Makes zero sense.
