Either way, this was one hell of a fight.
One judge had a 10-8 round, had to have been the 4th right?
Thats the only round that was close to a 10-8 didnt think it was a 10-8 personally.
Joanna is definitely my favorite UFC champ at the moment.
Went back and watched Round 3. Gadelha landed 3 takedowns and got a knockdown. Joanna, however easily got up from all 3 takedowns and the knockdown had no affect on her. Using the UFC's criteria, Joanna won on striking, aggression and Octagon control.
So with the benefit of hindsight, and a PVR, I give Round 3 to Joanna, and the fight to Joanna at 48-47. However I still don't see how 4 and 5 are 10-8s.

I listened to John McCarthy's podcast once and he explaines the scoring that you only look at aggression and octagon control if there's no difference in effective striking or grappling. Kinda like tiebreakers, you only look at the criteria below if the top ones are even.Went back and watched Round 3. Gadelha landed 3 takedowns and got a knockdown.

The 5th was definitely not a 10-8
a round is to be scored as a 10-8 round when a contestant overwhelmingly dominates by striking or grappling in a round.
Excited to see Dillashaw fight again. Saw him fight for the first time in the fight before his one vs Cruz (which I thought he should have won). Such an entertaining guy to watch.
I ended up going back and watching most of his fights after the first time I saw him. Awesome fighter.That was your first time watching him? I suggest both Renan Barao fights which were amazing. He was a massive underdog the first fight.
