Brandon Moreno on scorecards of UFC 256 title fight

I thought he won the 3rd. After watching it a second time I changed my mind. He lost the 3rd. He fought a good fight and he's one of my favorite guys to watch. Figgy was just better.
I personally feel that he won the 3rd and even more so due to the nut shot. Figgy was able to recover due to the break. This was an additional advantage aside from the damage Moreno suffered due to the illegal strike. Point deduction as a penalty for the illegal act and when the round is fairly close Moreno gets it due to the damage caused by the nut shot and the benefit Figgy gets due to the rest.

Figgy had a blatant fence grab that altered his first defence in his favour and this one had an eye poke, brutal nut shot and even late shots at the end of the 5th. He is just a little across the line IMO.
 
I felt it was a solid win for Figgy. Moreno got one round on my scorecard, but I couldn't give him any more when he spent the whole fight backing up against the champ.
 
I'd like to hear how he feels about the commentary being grossly biased in his favor, and how does getting the ufc Mexican champ push treatment feel? Cause it's pretty evident that the ufc will be willing to pull any strings for a victory for him next time. He just has to make it look more competitive, that's all. He can't take off the 5th next time. The fix will be in, the ufc needs that Mexican fan ppv money, the Brazilians don't buy that shit.
 
I rewatched it, and the first three rounds were close, especially the 3rd, but I scored them all for Figueiredo.

The 4th and 5th were both pretty obvious, and the 4th was the best round of the fight for either guy. Moreno hung with Figueireido, but even with the point deduction it was 48-46 on my scorecard.
 
Love Moreno. Such a positive guy.
Hope he gets the win in the rematch.
 
It was a pretty clear 3,4 + point deduction for Moreno. 3rd round was definitely his imo.

47/47 draw. Figgy was really dirty, really soured the fight imo.
