punish point fighters at all costs, if you try to play a game then this is the result, if you dont want to try and go for the win then honestly i could not care less anyways, these dudes are trying to game the system way too hard these days.

I thought it was a robbery when I watched it live but on rewatch I thought Albazi won somewhat convincingly.

R1: The strikes landed were more or less negligible other than the big overhand right KKF landed at the end of the round when Albazi was taunting him. Amir had already built a lead by this point due to his forward pressure, KKF spent over 75% of the round on the backfoot being pressured and rendered almost exclusively defensive. It was a close round that could be fairly awarded to either side, but I definitely leaned Albazi winning the round.

R2: This was a very clear round for Albazi when I rewatched it. He was the one pressing forward for over 75% of the round and landed the better and more meaningful shots. When Kai was landing it was one shot at a time in contrast to Albazi who was also landing singular shots but they were overhands. Optically this was a terrible round for Kai.

R3: The control + submission attempt for Albazi won the round.

R4: I leaned Kai winning the round because he began pressing forward and was stringing together combinations instead of singular shots. Albazi did land the bigger and more meaningful shots during the round and awarding it to him is reasonable, though somewhat generous imo, but this was a much better round for Kai optically.

R5: Clear round for Kai theres no way to give Albazi this round he was getting pieced up.

I think the reason it felt like a robbery live for so many is because Kai ended the fight very strong and won his rounds by large margins while Albazi won his rounds on very thin margins and with not much offense. Definitely not a robbery though imo.

Albazi did absolutely nothing outside of that submission attempt. Aside from that one submission attempt, he got shut out. Kara was tagging him at will with the jab.

Yeah... I guess that's why you fight to finish the other guy. The judges can be goofs.

Well that's absolutely ridiculous. The onus is on the judges to do their job correctly.

IMO if you egregiously fuck up, you should be suspended for awhile and get demoted. Fucking with people's lives here.

The fact that Kai lost this fight and half his paycheck because one judge gave that round to Albazi is absolutely disgraceful and he should actually appeal it. Keep in mind that Kai also technically scored a takedown and Albazi was 0 for 2 on takedown attempts in that round.

Disgusting stuff.
 
I loved how Albazi was going after the fight "I want the title shot. I am the tiger blaa blaa" Like he had dominated or KO'd Kai. He should definitely not get a title shot from that pathetic gift win.
 
I had 1,4,5 clearly for KKF. I remember thinking round 3 was close, but gave KKF a slight edge in round 2. That fight was closer to a clean sweep than a loss.

Kai ended the fight by dominantly winning the final round but during the first three rounds he was the one on the backfoot over 75% of the time and landing one shot at a time. The optics were unfortunately terrible for Kai during those first three rounds and while Albazi was not doing much it was more than Kai.

It is very hard to win a fight when you are the one being pressured for the overwhelming majority of each round and landing one shot at a time. Rewatch the first three rounds and see if you still feel it was a robbery because I certainly didn't.

I was rooting for Kara-France, but people claiming that decision as a robbery is exactly why he deserved to lose. He didn't do enough to earn a legitimate claim to question a decision much less call robbery.

If that was a clear win not only are judges not needed, they shouldn't even bother stepping in the cage because there was nothing clear about that.
 
I fell asleep for part of it, but it didn't seem like a very exciting fight so I'm probably not going to re-watch it.

Hard to believe these judges aren't swayed by ufc promotion... the poodle v Yan, paddy's gift, this fight.
 
Damn....that's a rough decision. I had money on Albazi so I was pleasantly surprised....for a minute anyways...in the long run, it's upsetting to see judging so poor.

Rounds 1 and 2 were close...but how some judge gave Albazi the 4th is beyond me.

i completley disagree…. it was an easy fight to score.. either 4-1 france or 3-2 france.. 4-1 is much more closer to the truth then 3-2 Albazi..

albania had 1 round and that it.. moving forward means nothing in scoring unless nothing else is happening …. getting hit with 150 significant strikes is doing something ..

to me this was a robbery…. when i see no way in any defense of how one fighter won, that’s a robbery
 
Kai manipulated the fingers to avoid getting submitted, I have zero sympathy for him. Looked to me like he was coasting a bit, which, given our judging landscape, was a tactical error. If you are able to easily outclass your opponent across 5 rounds you should be making it demonstrable. As it stood Kai was winning handily, but he was content to back foot for the first 3 rounds and his opponent was throwing for power. The optics aren’t great when you consider there will be at least one ray charles on every MMA judging panel

When you open a post and the first 12 comments are people of all backgrounds and different fanboys saying Kai clearly won, even Albazi fans and bettors, it might be cause to re evaluate the fight and your view on it.

how do you give albazi 3 rounds? He clearly lost 2,4,5.

You can give him 1 and 3 at best

I can't even give him 1st rd. Even the rd AA won KKF do instead the end of that rd. This was a clear bias decision imo
