People saying Rob won four rounds are insane btw. I could see 3-2 Rob or 3-2 Izzy. My point being this was a close fight not a "robbery ."

Gonna catch crap for this but I saw it 48-47 Robert (Adesanya 1,3 - Whitaker 2,4,5) but Round 4 was very very close and I absolutely can see it 48-47 for Adesanya. Only clear rounds in my opinion were RD1 for Adesanya and RD5 for Whitaker. All in all a very close fight in my opinion.

I saw it exactly the same as you, except I had Izzy in rd 4 to take it 3-2. But agreed rd 1 and 5 are only clear ones.

Let's be real - it was a relatively uneventful fight where the only tension came from hoping Rob didn't get clipped when he lunged in.
Nobody deserved a win and it would probably be awkward for Rob to win the title like this.

Honestly a 49-46 for either man weren’t bad, Izzy clearly won the first, Rob clearly won the 5th, ether man could of won diffrent rounds, i score it for Rob,

9-5 record. I'll take it. Had some bad reads(Haqparast), but i know i will get better at this. I want to be nearly perfect next time.

Same bro, Morozov and Ulberg Decision instead of KO cost me today.

A few lessons learned though, 

1. Lawrence has a questionable chin
2. Ulbergs hands down fighting style is ready to get exposed soon just like Duskos
3. Tuivasa is the real deal
4. Hernandez is not trash, Moicano is just better and his chin looks fine
5. Bobby Green and Casey O'Niel are the real deal
6. Phillips will be a title challenger soon, just like I thought the first time I saw him fight
7. Knight is trash
8. Morozov has chin issues
9. Malkoun is still not good, his opponents are just bad

And the most important take away from the day,

Bumson is back! He never really went away, just dyed his hair and looked different.

I’m not only the most level headed poster but also the most humble definitely the best judge. Izzy earned the W in a very close fight.

Everyone saying Adesanya won is delusional af, and you are being biased just like DC and Bisping. Bisping said it's 49-46. ***? Whittaker won 2nd and 5th round 100%. I think whittaker clearly won 2, 4, and 5 rounds.  Only thing Izzy did it's that knockdown in 1st round, that's it. But you can tell that Whittaker is happy he didn't get KOed.

If anyone can explain to me how Izzy or Rob couldn’t of got the 2nd, 3rd or 4th I listen to robory complaint, it just a close fight, MMA fans ***** about decsion to much, it just a close decsion, Judges see diffrent thing. And the judging for either guy were equal, they weren’t much in the decsion

Rob won the 5th, Izzy won the 1st, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th were 10-10 rounds

I lean it to Rob, but I’m not *****ing about the decsion, Izzy wining was equally valid

I can very easily find three for Rob.

Prob should have been a draw. I suppose it doesn't matter, they're destined to fight again either way.
