TJ coming out to RHCP is perfect. Dude is one of the UFC's last remaining guys from when that was a relevant music choice.

You guys think Pillashaws mom roots for him? Surely someone must be, outside of having a bet on him I mean.

TJ is off the juice now (should be) so his testosterone may be way down

ImRealUgly This happens time and time again and nothing seems to change. This pisses me off so much. When are they actually going to do about scorecards like this? Give these judges some kind of penalty or something. Not only are they screwing over the fighters their life/careers, but this messes up the entire sport. I mean, how can you take this seriously?

Cuts should not be given any credence imo. Some people simply have skin that tears easy and shouldn't be penalized for it. The loss of blood (and vision in this case) IS the advantage to the opponent - they shouldn't be given points on top of that.

I wonder how the knee will hold up if the fight goes past 3 rounds. Like I wonder if it will affect the movement of TJ, maybe he just becomes too flat footed and starts getting bullied around by the size of Aljo

Let's be honest, Yan was supposed to win this... Robbery? I guess. But then again, how do you keep it competetive against top 5 contenders but keep losing to a non ranked (maybe top 10) Sean O'Malley? Never seen Yan bleed or shoot takedowns like there is no tomorrow and Sean had him very good a few times...

UFC Corrupt as usual.
I can't believe 2 judges didn't vote for Yan in the first round after the Russian was effective with his stiking, he got a takedown, control and G&P.
The criteria of the unified rules are a joke: Corrupt Judges and Referees will always handle those criteria as they please to disqualify whoever they want and others give them NC, to give victories to those who are favorites of the promoters and steal fights.
The first 2 rounds were clear for Yan.

I subscribed to a pay channel just to watch the UFC. The judges' decision on O'Malley is making me stop watching. I'm cancelling my subscription tonight.
