    Had to start this. Dione Barbosa just got robbed by all three judges. She clearly won the fight and all three judges called it 29-28 against her.

    The audience booed the result.

    I'm wondering if there's ever been a 50-40 result in a mens fight. If Chimaev doesn't get the finish it's on right now. It's definitely been 2 point wins through the first three rounds and it's looking like it in the fourth as well.

    The best p4p fighter in the UFC is now the middleweight champion.

    Delighted for Khamzat. I knew the first time I saw him fight that he was a future champ.

    He is absolutely brilliant but I do really hope that one day someone will find a style to combat that blanket stuff.

    I think Fluffy is the only guy who has a chance to beat Chimaev but then I say that I am not sure.

    Fantastic card overall but the main was a bit disappointing. I really thought DPP would do better, he was down within 25 seconds of every round.

    But he is due some credit for surviving 5 full rounds under that pressure, other top fighters absolutely did not.

    It's not as if Chimaev is unbeatable, Gilbert Burns really put it up to him. I would love to see De Ridder take him on.

    The solution to it is simply better counter grappling. Easier said than done
