Sucks it should’ve been a finish but that’s not terrible reffing just a human error call. Silva’s offensive diversity is tough to deal with early but as the fight goes and he fights better fighters, he’s gonna need to work on his pacing and cardio a bit. Good fight overall 29-28 Riddell

I got rounds 2 and 3 for Riddell but that was some real dumb decision making to look for a takedown at the last minute there.

I picked Zubaira Tukhugov to win the next fight, because he's the best fighter that Hakeem Dawodu has faced in the UFC.
