I have to say that is the lowest fight IQ that perhaps I have ever seen from Lemos.

But the decision was correct, damage was much more from the Lemos side and I will take that perfect.

And I have always said, Dern submits no one in MMA.

Imho it would have been easy a Ko win for Lemos and this fight could have been absolutely rightfully stopped like it was stopped for Barlow - Quinlan fight. Not much difference huh?

Kopylov 92% TD Defense

Lets see how that stat holds up against Anthony. Tinfoil hat on I think Kopy produces a nice underdog shocker here

I don't know why people think this was close. This was a clear 29-28 to me. First two rounds were clearly Lemos her rounds. First round she clearly did enough to win the round. Inflicted a lot of damage in the second round almost finishing Dern. So I honestly don't understand why people think Dern won two rounds.

It's weird, I actually think Derns striking looked worse than vs Andrade despite going back to Padillo. She was way off balance even on single attacks right from the start which definitely was not the case vs Andrade where she landed multiple 1-2s on Andrades chin and only got off balance badly when she tried to press longer comboes. This looked like a regression. But then she had more success in wrestling than she usually does as well. I guess she's just a very uneven fighter in terms of what trajectory to expect.
