It's just almost impossible to give jones a majority when he got outstruck and ate the bog shots over three. In fact it shouldn't be possible. Like I could maybe understand it if Jones had hit some good control time over those three but he didn't...Same guy that gave ewell the dec handed it to John.

It's pretty ******. I hope Reyes gets a do-over.

i think martinez shoulda been a draw. ewell did have the better combinations round 3 and martinez handed the round over to ewell by doing little.
he shoulda done more to solidify the win

Reyes won 1-3. 3rd was close. I still had Reyes. 4 & 5 Jones. 49-46 for Jones is rediculous, especially because you just knew one of them would have it ****** up again beforehand. And it's the same guy from the Ewell fight. **** that guy. This judging is undermining the sport.

MMA Judges need to be vetted. 49-46 Jones is absolutely inexcusable.

I had it like this. 

Round 1 for Reyes
Round 2 for Jones (I understand this won't be popular)
Round 3 for Reyes
Round 4 for Jones
Round 5 for Jones

It was a 48-47 fight, and honestly if either guy won I would completely understand. But there is zero chance I'm giving Jones rounds 1 or 3.

No way you can give John the third, he got wobbled bad and panic shot. Immediate damage that sways the fight in the favor of one fighter is the premium criterion.

I can see 48-47 Jones, but 49-46 makes no sense whatsoever.

For the person who downvoted me, here's the actual statute:

PRIORITIZED CRITERIA: Effective Striking/Grappling “Legal blows that have immediate or cumulative impact with the potential to contribute towards the end of the match with the IMMEDIATE weighing in more heavily than the cumulative impact.


So yeah, not sure how you score the third for Jones since he got put on ***** street.

Alright, let's say 48-47 Jones. Where's that robbery? It's not all about outstriking your opponent by a slight margin.. what about the octagon control, takedowns? I ******* despise Jones and I still saw him winning this clearly.  It's the same old **** again and again. There were people convinced that Santos won the fight and here we ******* go again.

My opinion Reyes won but I’m not upset with a jones 48-47 it was close. My gripe is a 49-46 it’s just dumb

Wait. Octagon control is a scoring criteria?
