On first watch it felt clear 2-1 Sidey but sometimes I change my mind when I can rewatch and rewind at my leisure. It's controversial for sure.

It's not a robbery. That was a very close fight and a split was expected but I really think sidey won.

It can be close but still be clear who won. If you're bragging about your Taveras pick, shame lol. It was very clear that Sidey won.

I find it rather disturbing that they give such a close split decision to the guy who missed weight and therefore cheated.

But of course corrupt judges, everyone expecting home cooking for Canada - who are the judges? Eric Colon, Sal D'amato, and all the usual suspects

Deciding judge's name was unfamiliar to me.

You can't tell me that the UFC is unaware of this. How is it that the same Vegas judges end up in every card even in other countries like Canada and the UK? This is not Vegas. So how are the Vegas judges there? All the time?
