    One Judge had it as a 30-27. Thats hard to see tbh.

    30-27 for Assuncao is madness. That judge needs an eye test, the first two rounds were close and could be given to either man but Moraes did much more in the third.

    30-27? That's a bit weird

    I don't think either guy came out looking good in that one

    I don't think it's the worst we've seen. Assuncao took Round 1 (marginally) and 2 (clearly) in my book and round 3 is arguable. Assuncao stunned him hard in the first 30 seconds and not a lot happened after that.

    The 9/4 going around on Assuncao was weird. Moraes was 1/4 in some places before a late flood of money on Assuncao.

    I thought Moraes clearly won that round but maybe it's just me

    Judging by the comments section she was responsible for about 90% of the views on Embedded this week.

    She could be a huge star if she can get past Claudia and, umm, hope Joanna retires. Or (I suppose) land that right hand flush on Joanna in Round 1 next time and break her nose earlier.

    This might sound harsh but I think Mark Henry is useless and is making the fighters who switch to him worse. He's just a glorified Edmond except he's riding Frankies coat-tails instead of Ronda's.

    They were going on about Moraes like he was the second coming of Christ too.

    Anytime an Ali Abdziz fighter loses im happy so glad Moraes was beaten there, Henry has no pedigree never had a fight in his life gets way too much credit.

    Ali Abdziz has got to one of the biggest chancers in MMA

    One thing the bookies and public are not factoring in to all this - Brazilian MMA is in decline with aging fighters trading on old reputations.

    That's just an observable fact. It wasn't that long ago that Brazil had Werdum, Aldo, Anderson, Renan Barao all killing it and if Aldo loses tonight they're left with Amanda Nunes, who to be fair had to leave Brazil to improve.

    Large swell of support/belief in Holloway for the big one I imagine?

    Be wary going against Aldo personally, obviously I'ma big fan anyway but they are in Brazil, I like Holloway a lot but this will be a big test for him. Getting very amped for it now!

    I'd like a good hard fight, but I can see Aldo shutting it down if he comes out as focused as he was against Frankie last time out. Max needs a career best to come out with the win, should be a great fight.

    Forgot, may as well add my prediction, I think Holloway comes out aggressive as always and Aldo picks him off countering and chopping with kicks to eventually stop him in round 3/4
