So many guys can benefit from level changes in a fight. Too many guys don't do it. That was a really good fight.

 

[Croton]

49/46 Archuleta Imo.

great fight. both are deserving champs and could fight for the ufc title tomorrow.

 

[cooljay1622]

judges will give it to mix for moving forward.

Archuleta won this round. Should be 48-47 Mix but judges will give it to Archuleta.

I had it 48-47 Juan.

 

[battouter]

patchy knows he lost

 

[ufcfan4]

He weathered the storm and fought calmly and intelligently. He didn't panic and he implemented a game plan based off of what mix gave him and from what he saw from the tape off of cardio. This is an impressive performance from Archuleta. A lot of guys wilt from pressure when they're overwhelmed.

Juan won three rounds, imo. I don't think this should be a split of these judges are smart.

Completely agree. Textbook 3 rounds to 2. Mix has a ton of potential though. But Archuleta is so high level. Dude has only two losses over a deep career.

fun fight.

 

[Jackonfire]

That was a good fight.

 

[asdf122345]

3-2. Juan

 

[BFoe]

Diaz 1, 2, 5!
Mix 1, 2, 4!

 

[OhBam]

48-47 Juan.

 

[AGEZ909]

good fight

3-2 Juan.

weird fight to score cuz the first two were clear Mix rounds. last three for me were Juan, but closer.

still, on a round by round basis. I have 3-2 Juan.

 

[ForgotMyOldAccount]

solid scrap

 

[Kingz]

48-47 Archuleta. Those body shots at the end of Round 2 knocked the shit out of Mix for the rest of the fight. Those were no joke

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

48-47 Juan... but seems like they are trying to sell Mix, I see him getting the Bellator nod.

 

[cooljay1622]

at least 60 of those 105 punches landed were to the body.

 

[europe1]

Mix's A-game only last for 2 rounds. Not surprising from such an aggressive and physical grappler.

Juan's body shots were real good

 

[Eric Lau]

Bellator hyping Juan up as a KO artist but is a decision artist

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Beautiful work from Archuleta I got him 4-1 took mix in the ocean and drowned him after the grappling.

Arch is a smart fighter and the corner advice is top notch. I know TJ is public enemy number one here, but he gave Juan some good points in that corner. That's what your corner should do.

I think it is a clear 48-47.
