It’s crazy that Usman headlined 2 of the best events of the year, 261 and 268 were amazing.

I’m suprise so many people are crying robbery about the Zhang vs Rose decsion. The fight was close but to think Zhang clearly won 3 round is just wrong. The first three was close, Scoring any of them for Rose isn’t out of the realm of posibilty. I personally gave one of them to Rose, I think all 3 judges had valid scorecard.

Rose won because Rose clearly won the last 2, only round Weili Clearly won is the third, and even still that round was close .Cleary wining the last 2 round in a close fight is what won her the fight

I swear some mma fans don’t understand that a fight is close, they going to be different oppion on what happen

I have more unpopular opinions too. I took Rose but thought she lost the first three rounds. I also though JJ beat her in their last fight and thought she beat Weili. I do however respect your right to your wrong opinions. 🍻 🙏

Why would you downvote me saying that's the best card I've ever seen live? I'm not saying it's the best card ever, I'm just saying it's the best one I've seen live, mainly because I've seen like 5 live.....

Nothing wrong with scoring the fight 48-47 Zhang, 48-47 Rose , 49-46 Rose And 50-45 Rose were also valid scorecard IMO, The first three round were tighter then a nuns *****. Zhang could of edge all of the first three round, But scoring any of them for Rose is not terrible. 

My complants is when people complain that close fight are robbery, It was just close, Just because the judges don't see it the same way as you don't mean they bad at they jobs, It rare that judge royally **** they jobs tbh

Yea, DH420. There were no robberies. 

I still think JG near finish warrants a 10-8. Maybe because I’m old and how I learned to score after knockdown..especially near finish. The first could’ve gone either way. JG was wobbled but never fell then I thought gave it back. Imo, you could justifiably score it either way. 

I also thought round 1 of Veraga could’ve been scored either way. 

Those are just like my opinions, maaa’aan.

Don’t fuss over the downvote though. It’s just the way of the boards at times. Peeps are legit bored.

@loudenSwain I came 1313th in this event and your last post was your 4666th post..... Could that mean anything?....
