    That was ridiculous. I couldn't really argue with 29-28 either way but 30-27 was ridiculous.

    That round should never have happened.

    Yes... He was clearly circling when on the stool. Coach should have stopped it.

    Buckley is just a beast.
    You can tell that Wright is decent and can still have a good career but Buckley is just unstoppable at the minute.
    It'll get to the stage soon that ranked fighters will try and avoid him.

    He has so much power. Very dangerous fighter to go up against.

    Prelims have been great, lets hope the main card follows suit.

    Am I missing something here? Craig is 8/15 to win and 13/5 to win via submission. All his victories are subs.. Seems like value?

    EDIT: I know they drew last time, but if we're thinking he'll win the sub is extra juice

    Is Shevshenko the biggest favorite in UFC title fight history? I can't think of any other title fight so 1 sided,.

    I wish shogun would retire, still has power but so slow besides and will probably fight until he's cut and then fight elsewhere sadly

    first ufc tko win for craig

    He tapped to the strikes so it is a submission win

    Boylesports unfortunately doesn't see it that way.. I didn't see a tap there.

    He definitely tapped. I see some are saying its a tko victory and others a sub. I thought him tapping made it a sub. I remember I had Rockhold backed via tko over Branch when they fought and Branch tapped to strikes and it went down as a submission victory and my bet didnt come through

    It should be TKO imo. At this point it’s well established what submission means chokes and joint locks.

    If tapping to strikes makes it a submission, then not tapping to a choke should not be a submission. Which is silly to me.

    I fully agree with ya, im just going off how paddy power treated tapping to strikes in the past.

    Yeah of course. They’ll interpret it however they feel like unfortunately. Consistency or something in the T&Cs would be good.

    Well Tim Means got a 30-27 off one judge. Getting very fed up of these ridiculous calls.
    Means clearly won rounds 2 and 3 but he clearly list round 1.

    Shevchenkp could struggle in the Championship rounds.

    Why did I doubt Shevchenkp? She is unbelievable. She lost the second round in this but she dominated the other four. Maia deserves credit for what she did in the second round but like everybody else she is miles behind the champ.

    Very impressive from Figueiredo.

    The scissor takedown was nice. But the guillotine was highlight for me.

    It's a shame that fight didn't go on a bit longer, Perez was looking good.

    Figueirido seems to have it all, not a big enough name to get triple C out
    of retirement though, will probably ko Cody if they meet too
