News Official scorecards for Makhachev vs. Poirier

I had it 3-1 Islam but in the PBP i said there's chance it's 2-2. Thought Round 2 dustin edged out with bodywork he was ripping Islam to the body whenever the clinched up. Round 4 I gave Islam because outside of the big elbow dustin wasn't getting all that much done but it doesn't surprise me that a judge gave it to him and it's defensible.
 
I think I had it 3-1 for Islam, but would need to rewatch it to judge better.
 
I can't remember round four in detail but it's safe to say Sal is on drugs for giving Islam round two
 

Yeah. I had it 2-2 going into round 5, with dustin getting round 2 and 4, but I also thought islam may have had a 10-8 in round one, but perhaps dustin opening the cut in round one prevented him from losing 10-8 in that round. Either way, I thought the fight was on the table for Dustin in round 5, and he was doing well, even stuffed the first few takedown attempts and was landing his jab, but islam was one resilient man and finally got what he wanted.
 
Islam definitely took rounds 1 and 3, most convincing rounds by far. I think you really gotta be giving Dustin the benefit of the doubt to give him both 2 and 4.

2 was close, but round 4 was pretty obviously dustin's in my opinion.
 
I gave 2 to Islam and 4 to Dustin.

I gave both to dustin, but I acknowledge round 2 was very close. Just felt close in output, but a bit cleaner strikes from dustin imo, and the wrestling amounted to nothing.
 
4-0 Islam.
