Here's the scorecard for Pereira vs Williams

I thought if anything maybe Pereira took the 1st round. I favored Williams for the decision but could've seen 1+3 for Pereira.

Ending in a dominant position in the 2nd I guess stole him the fight.
 
I had it 2-1 either way with the second being a coin toss
 
I had Williams with a very close first and second, that brief takedown/attempt at the end of the second didn’t make up for the striking differential to me. Third was clearly Periera. Based on the judges scorecard, that takedown at the end of the second seems to have won him the fight.
 
1st could've gone either way
2nd I think Pereira steals by almost finishing with a sub
3rd clear for Pereira who scored 2 takedown

Judges got it right.
 
End of second round stole it for Pereira. 3rd round also for Pereira. Good scoring

Agree. I think people are really tempted to score potential danger like in the Joel fight. It’s like we see the possibility that they can crush the guy but at the end of the day power punchers are still responsible for landing strikes to win fights. Like Romero, Chaos just didn’t do enough to initiate action. I think everyone got the feeling that if there we more exchanges he would have won (including me) but that’s not what happened.
 
Perriera stole Round 2 at the end. He was losing that round until the last 30 seconds. The judges got it right if you think he won round 2
