Whether either guy gets contract here, I  think we ca see both guys in the UFC. They’re both young fighters.

What a disaster!
This should be a technical decision. Even with the point deduction, 1st 2 rounds went to Brito. He should still win.

But, who the **** knows what's happening?????

Rare technical decision. Should be a solid NC tbh, no real losers here though. Joanderson clearly a best foot forward, throw bombs and head hunt kinda guy. Showed some heart getting out of legit tight armbar and guillotine, and Diego too looked very promising. Decent straight punches on the feet and a very aggressive submission over position jits off his back which isn't often seen in high level MMA.

I'd like to see more of each guy, they both seem fun and skillful in their own right. Fun fight, crappy ending

How do you get 29-28? Wouldn’t it be 29-27 or 28-28

@Kyle, not if they all called the third a 10-10 since nothing really happened. Then it just gives Lopez the round. That’s my guess how this was scored.

Garbage new rule needed

You can't win 2 ****** rounds rhen immediately eye poke a guy in the 1st 10 seconds illegally and end the fight and get a win. Why doesn't every guy who wins the 1st 2 rounds do this then?! That should have been a No contest or  a draw as lopes then wins the 3rd and a point deduction makes it 10 8. This is ******** for bettors and rigged

Nah that's terrible you can't score 10 10 on a guy who illegally ends the fight there is no fairness yo the guy losing in giving him a chance in the 3rd. Should be 10 9 lopes and then point deduction  10 8 and a draw

I wanna know if Dana will sign Altamirano or if he will sign Brito 🤔

Yeah Swain that's what I think happened with the scores. That 3rd round must've been 10-10 because they score the 20 seconds, Brito clearly won 1 and 2. So 30-28 with a point deduction 29-28. Simple eh! Haha

How can the score be 29-28 w/ a point deduction. Brito got a 10-10-9 and Lopez got a 9-9-10. Brito should have got an 8 in the 3rd round. You mean they both got 10s so both won the round and then Brito got 1 pt deducted. Crap scoring. Should have been a tie
