I remember they signed Carolina because the UFC was specifically trying to find female BW's but like most girls it seems once they get signed they decide not to fight at that division and move to flyweight instead.

@ AJBO Have you ever thought about the possibility that you hold some bias? I thought the Moreno draw was a fine decision, that fight was extremely competitive and is actually why I chose Askarov tonight.

@rexatron Well it's certainly possible but I actually bet money on Askarov to win, I bought into the hype initially but I still think he lost that fight and this one, although I actually think this was closer than his fight with Moreno.

@rexatron Again I feel it's worth stating I'm not trying to start anything here, and my problem is more with the judges than the fighters themselves. Perhaps I've got a tinfoil-hat on but I truly believe there is a pattern of blatant favouritism to Dagestani fighters.

Ajbo I don’t agree he clearly outworked pantoja for the last 2 rounds. The 2nd one was the one up for debate and he did more pantoja wanted a sub and on the feet was getting outworked. He never held any position for long and there wasn’t threatening at all in the 2nd. It was close and I was expecting it to go the other way but one because I bet on Askarov to win. It’s the same reason I though max might not get the decision. He won but because I bet the judges went the other way lol

AJBO Of course not, I was just discussing, and by no means do I think your claims are outrageous, but judging is often very questionable with no obvious bias, don't think there particularly has been any outrageous decisions yet tonight though, unless my memory is worse than I thought.

Oh no it’s obvious there’s favoritism to Dagestani/Russian fighters, especially at fight island. If Yan gets to duck Aljo then it’s just blatant.

 Diakiese is capable of sparking him out but he’s also capable of dull performances when that doesn’t happen. Not really seen enough of his opponent to get a read

@mickey420 Fair enough. I could dig up a million examples of decisions going to Dagestanis where most people saw the other guy winning but I'm not trying to convince anyone here. What I think is what I think and hopefully we can agree to disagree. I hope you guys are right by the way.
