That has been a problem for a long time in MMA, and has been a cause of multiple poor decisions. I can't fucking stand when the recency bias of a few punches or a takedown in the last minute overtake 4 minutes where the other fighter was controlling the action. I'm kinda pissed I missed this fight....a fan of both fighters but I was tired as hell and just recorded the Cavaliers game instead.
I'll have to catch it soon.

He got caught by a big punch and had one eye for the entire fight. You could argue that winning at all under those circumstances is as impressive as a quick finish.Either way, moose looked awful against someone who’s probably a fringe top 30 mw.
Close fight, I'd have R2 10-10 and call it a draw so they rematch in a few months.
It is only nonsense if the fight ended prematurely. If it is a decision then it's very logical that the more beat up person is the one who lost. That was how PRIDE fights were scored - the fight overall, not rounds.You are using zero logic, man. When are people gonna stop with this "His face looked worse after the fight" nonsense.
Storm won that fight. Was close but he won 29-28.
They should rematch but Bellator probably keeps Storm away from Mousasi now so Gegard can win the MW title.
I never mentioned the eye. You are correct, Moose would lose in PRIDE due to the 3rd round where he got his ass handed to him.Well what does more beat up mean? It certainly doesn't mean a swollen eye from a single punch? Having the opponent's back for extended periods of time definitely has to count a lot. PRIDE rules could've been trouble for the Moose, no doubt. But again, we wouldn't say that because of his fucking eye. We would mostly say that because of all the strikes in the 3rd round that had nothing to do with the eye.
@Hotora86
Only UFC.Why wasn't the fight 5 rounds? I thought all main events were 5 or is that only in the UFC?
much respect to Gegard. fighting with one eye and yet almost winning it.
