I thought every round was super close tbh. I just thought Weili consistantly did more damage and always had the significant moment in each round as well. I dont think Weili OWNED her by any stretch. She just barely won every round for me.

@snotrag I don't think weili actually did land more headshot, but when she did land them they wee more noticeable. 

JJ definitely won that decision, but she definitely lost the fight.

Answered a lot of questions about Zhang though. She has the conditioning for five rounds.  Absolutely no chance she's clean.

I don't have a pic showing the end of the fight stats. But Joanna only landed more body shots. I thought every round was super close. I don't even think saying Joanna one is even incorrect or a crazy thought. I just thought Weili etched out each round.

Man, same as UFC 236: Holloway vs. Poirier 2 after Gastelum vs Adesanya, we see this crazy fight, and at the end it is, like, impossible to comprehend that another fight is coming next, and that fight is Adesanya vs Romero of all things.

@Gambit the fight that made sense betting on was Magny. I thought the betting line for the co-main was way off, should have been close to even. The Jones fight was way off too. So I can see why you would take a shot. Plus, the judging is almost always sketchy af
