Casey lost imo. She spent too long on her back and against the fence in the second . If you only land a few strikes that round it’s not enough to make up the difference

A 3 round fight being "razor thin" isn't an excuse for the wrong guy winning. Just by nature of the number of rounds, one round decides most fights. The judges HAVE to get close fights right.

Manel Kape is not worth the Pre Entering the UFC Hype at present, but he definitely Won Rounds 2 and 3...Nicolau was very fortunate in my humble opinion to get the nod from 2 of the Judges a few moments ago... It was close, but Manel clearly did enough, from where I was sitting and watching... A Poor judging decision really... 🤔🧐🤑👎🥊👊👊🥊👍💯

If you sit on your back hoping a guy jumps in your guard it always looks desperate imo. You don’t even have to understand a sport to see that it’s because the fighter is losing the exchanges or not liking how things are going on the feet

We need a Kape vs. Bontorin

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 470 Points   |   Tied for 1025th


to determine the most overconfident fighter at 125 pounds. Kape punched Nicolau in the second round (but never followed up with combinations), in the 3rd round the significant punches were even, but Nicolau landed more strikes to the head. While the power difference between them was considerable, the Brazilian made a better 3rd round.
While Kape was scheduled to make his debut vs. Bontorin at UFC 251, it would be interesting if they rescheduled them: Kape (the fighter who throws less volume of blows even though he surpasses his rivals in power) vs. Bontorin (the fighter who prefers to advance further in the fight even though he can finish his rival in the first round (of course all the credit for surviving for Kara-France)).

Those knees near the won that fight for kape. The only solution for bad judging is to have more judges. I’d say 8/10 people scored that for kape it just so happens that 2 of those 10 were the ones in there. Dudes were clearly looking at their phones while someone’s career could be on the line. Judges also need to be held more accountable. Badly scored fight = a 30% paycut for that card

Significant strike is too broad of an analytic, as kape landed padded shots while Matheus landed flush power, just because matheus laid on the ground and ran for the last 30 seconds of the round, doesn't necessarily give him the round.

I’m done trying to pick grant fights. His awful awkward striking gets it done lol. Martinez got lax after winning the first round and allowed grant to get comfortable
