Can't believe Young got robbed like that, he broke both of Bilder's fists with his face. These judges are blind.

Young is a weird fighter. Plods forward and stays in the pocket but he doesn’t actually throw with power either

That was the right decision but the UFC has officially become a meme.

Almost 80% of the time if the fight goes to decision you know the fighter who lost will win. Especially if he is a heavy underdog.

Corruption in MMA is real. It really really is.

Loma better get a finish because she is a 3:1 favourite and in everyones parlays.

For the sake of new fighters coming up through the ranks, I'm so glad boring ass Shane Young lost. No offense, seems like a good dude, but man he's so low volume and offers almost nothing in terms of excitement in his fights. Bilder is young, he's going to get better. 


Edit: nevermind Bilder is 32 he's not young lol.. I thought he was in his late 20s
