Jack Della Maddalena vs Belal Muhammad - Who won the fight?

[Takes Two To Tango]

It's a pretty close fight, but I thought Belal won.

Update: Since I didn't watch the fight closely, I change my vote to 'I don't know'.

You folks?

I tried real hard to stay awake but I think in my mind, there was no chance I was missing anything by going to sleep

Fell asleep during the event twice. Missed it.

Was on a plane from Philippines to Thailand. Under card looked decent as far as finishes. Doesn't look like I missed much during the mains.

I don't think even the few Belal fans thought he won lol

Why do you think Belal won? It was a pretty clear 49-46 for Jack, maybe even a sweep from my perspective. The fourth round was Belals best imo and even then Jack rocked him a few times on the feet.

Maddalena won. I didn't watch the fight.

JDM won clearly and massive kudos to him. Dude really upped his footwork and TDD since his last night.

I'll be honest I was facetiming someone while watching the fight, so I wasn't paying attention closely.

JDM won based on the fact that we would have gotten the appropriate title match if he had lost. The universe does not allow that to happen.

Legit is always a struggle to be awake for main events.

It's the 20 minutes between co-main ending and Bruce announcing the main. All the talking and promos.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Belal is not humble and if he truly thought he won he'd no doubt be the type to throw a tantrum after the decision was announced. I had it 49-46 JDM

I should say all the talking and promos that ufc broadcast has played 16 times during the night and now we have to watch again before the main.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

Belal looked slow and didn't feel comfortable in using pressure after a good 1st round. Couldn't figure out Jack's movement.

Then his cornermen woke him up going into the 4th, and surprisingly Jack wasn't prepared there and dropped another round - thinking that his opponent would keep the same distance.

But remember that Belal's own corner told him that he really needed to win that last round, and then he got tagged more than before and couldn't keep Jack on the ground when he tried. Clearly lost the decisive last round and looked defeated.

I don't understand how anyone could think Belal won this. This wasn't close at all. All the media scored it for JDM as well.

[moosaev]

JDM won, the individual rounds were all super close (except the first) but in most of them JDM just had a better case. Some of those rounds Belal was landing more but JDM had the cleaner and more telling shots.

 

[HeadKickerV2]

Easy... Jack

Belal looked like hes 60 years old in first three rounds

 

[TheNewGame]

JDM looked slippery. Seemed a bit sus, but he obv won.

“In fact, I’ve been present speaking to people, other fighters where they’ve told me some of their methods. They used to say ‘what I do is I apply Vaseline to my body 2, 3 days before, I allow it to soak in and then afterwards I shower so it feels like there’s nothing there, and then in the fight when you start sweating, it comes out.” -Bisping

First Pereira now JDM
