    haven't a clue who won that.

    Cruz's leg looks in a bad way though

    Moral victor is Cruz,down to the judges now tough enough to score.

    Also if Cruz did his ACL in that fight, he may very well call it a day. There's no way he can come back from another serious knee injury.

    3-2 Cruz. Very close however. Being the champ may win it for TJ.

    I'm happy for him but that's some wonky scoring from the judges.

    How can one judge score it 46-49 and the other 49-46?

    One values aggression and the other values ringcraft? dunno. There is no way in hell that fight was 49-46 for either fighter. The only round up for debate in my mind was round 1. It was a 3-2 fight every day of the week.

    Judges could have gone either way but delighted for Cruz.

    Hopefully his foot/leg injury isnt too bad and can fight again soon.

    Couldn't decide who won but definitely didn't think Cruz won that unanimously.

    Top fight. Fair play to TJ, remained composed and man it was close.

    Great stuff! Cruz is like a ghost.

    Man Cruz he is so elusive, if you had 6 arms you'd still have trouble trying to tag him. Absolutely delighted for him. Hopefully he stays healthy for a few years and dominates.

    Journalist just asked Travis if he would take a rematch given the controversy.

    He was absolutely RAGING, said 'rematch with who?'

    'do you think it was controversial?' to the journalist.

    Cruz showing a real lack of class here to be honest.

    TJ was very respectful in his post fight speech, but Cruz kicking a man when he's down.

    Thought the fight could well have been 49-46 Cruz, But I gave him 1,2,3 and 5. TJ punching at air for most of the fight. Cruz landing at at far higher percentage and landed the bigger shots and securing rounds with Takedowns.

    Absolutly delighted for Cruz, his footwork while his foot was absolutely ****ed was amazing, thank God by the early reports it's not his knee this time, but still looked a serious enough injury. I wonder if this is where we see the rift between Ludwig and TJ.... It will come. I know he switched camps to get money from team elevation but really if it's not broke don't fix it, he's after shooting himself in the foot here.

    Edit - and after that performance I have full confidence in Khabib being able to come back from similar and by the looks of things he will have no problem clearing out the division.
