dumb decision.  McCray only did **** in the first round.  The rest of the fight he was sitting in guard or defending submissions.

Barbosa worked so much harder and showed a lot more overall skill than McCray.  He won all the stand up exchanges, had him in submission danger like 3 times.  All McCray showed is that he can put a guy on his back.

Exactly @Crum & Fresno and Danno.. that is why I dislike MMA judging... it is too subjective instead of objective.

Yeah I agree with u Kalibo. Barbosa should've had more standups to even the playing field. McCray had very little offense unless you consider TDs offensive.

Athletic Commissions suck.  They mess everything up.  That would've been a solid win for Barbosa.  Instead McCray grinds it out and will have no chance of success against someone of a higher caliber.

McCray did show improved sub defense but that shouldn't have won him the fight.
