Unanimous with a 30-27? Shocking all these random split decisions we get and if any fight should have been one this was it lol. Woods leg kicks were more for show tbh

30-27 either guy is awful, 29-28 either guy is totally fine. Can't be that mad at the decision, either guy coulda got it. Plus, also an awesome fight. Good ****.

@Blackbet

Kenny was pretty gassed he was breathing with his mouth open...Wood still looked a little fresh after round 1.

He toughed it out and landed the better shots and deserved the decision with the late takedowns and back control against the cage.

Honestly if I was Wood I would be disappointed with that result. That fight was on the line for the last minute. He had a lot more energy left in the tank than kenney and had every chance to steal that fight but didn’t use his energy

That was a great ******* fight. I could have seen it going either way in all honesty. The only clear round for me was three to Kenney. Then most likely 2 to Wood. But 1 was a complete coin flip imo.

Kenney breathing from his mouth made him look more tired than he was. And Wood bouncing on his toes between exchanges made it look like he had more than he did. I wouldn't read into either too much. They got it right, IMO.

I think Struve is the better fighter overall, but I just couldn't pick a fighter who decided to retire before...
