After watching Jacare demolish Belfort, I decided to watch the jacare vs rockhold.....and what an interesting fight....1st of all the guys calling the fight were the worst I've ever heard. One announcer, and not sure who, but I think Pat Militech said several interesting things which made me very suspicious...and I'm not really the conspiracy theory type.

Anyway, I gave the first 2 rounds to Jacare, easily...but Militech talked as if Luke was dominating...so strange. The 3rd round was hard to judge and I can see it going either way and live with it. The 4th round I gave to Luke. So going into the 5th round the one announcer asks Frank Shamrock and Militech how they saw it and Militech said it was not close, he had it 4-0 and then Shamrock laughed and was kinda sarcastic and said it was more like 2-2...(and this is where it gets interesting) Militech then says...so I guess that makes it more suspenseful for you and laughs.....wtf is that supposed to mean? I gave Rockhold the 5th round and a 3-2 win but I could have easily live with a Jacare 3-2 win. The 2 judges had it 3-2 Luke's favor, but that other judge had it 5-0? HUH? What did Militech and that one judge know that no one else did? LOL....I dont think Jacare got robbed but man, something was wrong w that process.
 
The more time that passes in between this fight the more people act like it was dominated by Rockhold. When I watched it live I scored it for Jacare. When I went back and watched it like 5-6 months ago I scored it for Rockhold but it could really be 3-2 for either guy. It was such a close back and forth fight. I hope we get to see a rematch soon.
 
For me, I had Rockhold winning, but figured Jacare would get the nod for being champion. It always feels strange when a champion loses a close fight.
