[Tobias Kahun]

Mma judges are pathetic

 

[td_ice]

Whoa..........

 

[CDJ]

Dawodu was the last leg of a parlay that would’ve won me $250

f***ing sickening

 

[Avs_19]

Cub did a better job of scoring it than the judges did.

 

[ZDH]

Damn. UGH.

That's I stopped MMA betting. You can't trust these judges.

 

[CDJ]

Every judge deserves terrible things to happen to them

 

[Tobias Kahun]

How did cub get round 1 from 2 of the judges?

Because they have no idea what they’re looking at 100% of the time

 

[Avs_19]

Would Hill need to cut just to make HW right now?

 

[Taytro]

When the main judging criteria is damage, and you look at Cubs face after the first round, you gotta wonder how any of the judges gave him that round let alone two of them.

He broke his nose!

This is like watching the Bruins win a game 4-2 and the NHL saying the other team won. Like wtf are we even doing?

Especially when the announce team is talking about significant strike stats and Hakeem lead every round in significant strikes by like 30%.

Cub is pretty classy. When he heard the call he had won, he immediately shook his head, no, in disagreement. He didn't celebrate. Said in the interview, "I thought I took more shots, but I'll have to watch it back."

He even said "no" when asked if he thought he did enough to win. Cubs a good guy and understands the game, didn't want to take anything from Hakeem.

 

[td_ice]

Wow, really impressed with Luque's TDD.

 

[CDJ]

this is just a size difference

 

[td_ice]

Brutal honesty from RDA corner.

 

[Avs_19]

Smart game plan, pretty bad fight.

 

[CDJ]

I doubled down and emptied the rest of the gambling account on RDA

I blame the judges in the last fight for this loss as well

 

[Taytro]

Not a very enjoyable fight for the fans. I think RDA had more of a chance on the feet than he thought he did. He kept landing and doing damage, Luque didn't want to be on the feet. Seems like the only game plan was wrestling and when that didn't work he kept trying instead of audibling to striking, which was actually working.

Yeah, and RDA's corner tried to tell him that.

 

[CDJ]

I’ve been pacing around muttering “f***ing judges” since the scorecards of the co-main

 

[MMC]

Missed the main event but sounds like not worth the rewatch

 

[pistolpete11]

I knew the main event could be a grindfest, I just didn't think it would be Luque doing a lot of the grinding. RDA initiated it a lot of the time, but Luque never really seemed to try and disengage when he had the chance. He just reversed the position and wore down the smaller guy. Not a fun fight, but a much needed win for Luque.

I don't think the co-main was that bad of a decision Cub controlled the first 3min of R1 including cracking him once pretty good. Dawodu got back into it towards the end, but Cub was still landing some himself. Dawodu slightly outstruck him (by 6), but a lot of that was leg kicks. Toss up round. R2 Cub had some success early, then Dawodu did, then Dawodu ground him out along the fence for a bit, and then Cub had that flurry at the end of the round. Striking was basically even (Dawodu by 1). Again, toss up round. R3 I actually thought was Dawodu's. He outstruck him by 11 and was throwing with more intent, I thought. He caught him like 4 or 5 times pretty good. I think the judges gave Cub R3 because of the takedown, but he didn't really do much with it. All of this to say, it was a close fight.

Rountree can be a scary dude, but Daukaus is a glass cannon. In his 8 fights in the UFC, none have gone more than 7min. Unfortunately for him, that's 4 (T)KO's in a row. Granted all to pretty good guys, but still. This was a step down and he still got KO'ed inside 1 round.

Unless you like grinding along the fence, nope.
