But what kills me is this - That fight was a Unanimous Decision, whereas the Santos bout was Split.
You’re gonna look me dead in the eye and say Santos did a better job against Jon than Reyes did?
There’s no way. Matter of fact, I rewatched that Santos fight a week ago and I scored it for Jon.
As for last night’s fight... though it was close, I thought it was pretty clear that Reyes won. What’s sad is that if hadn’t been a title fight he probably would have.
My main take away is this - That fight showed that Jones absolutely can be beat.
A week ago I would’ve told you he’d destroy Adesanya in a fight. Now I’m not so sure.
And a move to Heavyweight... I might lean towards Stipe.
This may be an unpopular opinion as well, but I think Johnny Walker would/will give Jones a really hard time. I know Jon still wants that fight to happen, too.

MMA in the US needs to be deregulated.

If you have a UFC Fight Pass subscription, take the time to watch from UFC 8 to UFC 20. The UFC had judges that actually understood what they were watching, and they weren't regulated back then. They also scored the fight in its entirety, the way MMA is supposed to be scored.

There was a time where an athletic commission would sanction a UFC event, but the UFC could still use its own rules.

@fishrat
Judges should only be eligible to judge one specific sport, there shouldn't be boxing judges judging MMA.

The UFC should also cut fighters like Conor McGregor and Colby Covington, because they make the sport of MMA look horrible.

I agree that's most stupid thing in mma and why mma promotions don't do anything about it

I would rather have a product that I can promote to people that enjoy MMA because it's an honorable sport, not because people constantly insult each other. I would also want my fighters seen as respectable athletes, not thugs.
