Worthy winner. Pure domination for the second half of that fight.

martyos121

And she retains. Can't really argue with that.

Depp

100% claudia fell off in the last 2 but the first 3 were hers

martyos121

No way she gets a fight at MSG, there's nobody big enough to face her on such a huge card. Only VanZant has a big enough name over there but she's nowhere near ready as a fighter.

Gamebred

Not sure how anyone can seriously give Claudia the nod there,she got absolutely schooled for 15 minutes when it mattered 2 good rounds aint good enough to take the belt.

shocksy

I don't agree with those scores at all.

That's where I had it anyway undoubtedly Joanna last 2 rounds but Gadelha defo first 2 and I had her win 3rd as well

Gamebred

I must watch the 3rd round again thats the key round 1 and 2 no doubt claudias,4 and 5 easily Joannas.

raze_them_all_

2 good rounds, then Lost the last 3, clearly, good call on points, Even her corner told Claudia she needed to win 5

Yup. 4 and 5 were total domination by Joanna. Both 10-8 rounds.

TimRiggins

Can't really argue that the 4th or the 5th weren't 10-8s. 10 minutes of Claudia being lit up on the feet over and over again. The 3rd round was very close. Right woman won though.

I give Claudia rnd 3 as well, where either of last 2 rnds 10-8 maybe.

Anyway doesn't matter but I don't agree with it.

Yeah the clear winner there was Joanna (I bet on Claudia) but some of the judges scores were a joke.

The White Feather

One judge had it 48-45

Joanna landed some great shots. Claudia needed to do more to take it

Fromvert

I can't give Claudia round 3, she ate close to 50 shots and landed less than 10. The odd takedown doesn't outweigh the damage Joanna handed out.

Slowly but surely the takedown is losing the high points it used to get and I'm glad.

Gamebred

4th was maybe a 10-8 but 5th wasnt imo,Joanna was closer to finishing her than Claudia her 2 rd's of domination she hardly looked like she was gonna stop the champion did she?

She landed alot of shots in 3 alot where just fast jabs though I don't think Joanna did a lot of damage in 3.

4 and 5 different story tho.

Yeah, and it was by no means a ridiculous score.

Joanna 9-10 Claudia
9-10
10-9
10-8
10-8

Im of the opinion if you take someone down you better do some damage cos claudia sure as hell wasn't trying to land subs, and got well outstruck round 3, Joanna brought her out to the deep and Claudia couldn keep going

If you give the nod to Joanna Which scores were a joke do you think? What way would have scored the rounds?

There at least one 10-8 round there.

Gamebred

She never really took mount or back control either in them grappling exchanges Joanna has a terrific anti ground game scooting to the cage and surviving.

TimRiggins

Amazing fight though. Would happily watch the third. Hard to know what they do with Gadelha now though. She's easily number 2 to Joanna imo.

yeah was super surprised with joannas ground game to be fair

jcd5971

I could easily see first 3 rounds 10-9 to Claudia and last 2 10-8 to Joanna as well tho.

I just felt Claudia was 3 up and round 4 was not 10-8 5 defo was tho.

But as I said I'm not upset over it I just don't agree

Gamebred

Every Judge gave the 4th round 10-8,was she even dropped or in any trouble of being finished? hard to know what a 10-8 means exactly.

Depp

Good card overall to be fair, dont know how many times ill say to myself ''I wont bother staying up for this one I'll just watch the prelims and go to bed'' ''oh look, the sun!''

John_D80

Gadelha via Decision

What did Claudia actually do to make people think she won the third round besides get the head boxed off her and not capitalise on a takedown.

The official definition according to the UFC site:

a round is to be scored as a 10-8 round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.

Those last two rounds certainly fit the description. Can't have any arguments about it.
