Had mostly no service in the arena all night. Pretty fun card to watch live.

Seemed like Cejudo got robbed to me but fight was definitely close.

Lets be real, it’s incredible that the reign with the most defenses in UFC Bantamweight history begin win a DQ wins and 3 defense have been 2 Split Decisions and a TKO over a fighter who entered the octagon 100% aware that he had an injured shoulder. But Aljo should not be underestimated, he is not guilty of the scorecards or that Yan and Dillashaw will make bad decisions (Yan’s illegal knee and TJ’s decision of fighting injured).

It seemed like he was "robbed" but it was "definitely close"?? It can't really be both

How do people put "close" and "robbed" in the same sentence?
