Reyes thought he beaten Jones?

That's a bit ridiculous. Yes, that trend happens, (I first started mentioning it with JDS-Stipe), but it's not the case here. I've never given a shit about Reyes and I don't understand the Santos uproar (a fight where I think that trend might actually apply) but Reyes 1, 2, 3 is just correct judging. He should have won the belt, then dropped it to Jan and we'd still have the same championship situation we have today. Only difference would be that Crash Bandicoot shaped fool would get to call himself a former champ, which is never gonna happen now, with a descent that would make Garbrandt blush
I've watched that fight with and without commentary and on slow-mo. You can give him 2 rounds at best. Most of his shots were blocked, not flush, didn't land. The commentary and arena have a tremendous influence on how people score a fight. When the unlikely challenger has a modicum of success people just try to score it in their favor to get the underdog feeling. Can't blame them.

What irks me about Reyes is that if he was who many proclaimed him to be then the "injustice" he got after the Jones fight would have been righted in the Jan fight. :D
 
Yes a bunch of emotional drunk men on the night were mystified that the invincible legend killer was getting hit and having his takedown's stuffed. But watch it again sober without the commentary. It's a pretty clear UD, Gus starts very strong and then it's just regular exchanges until Jones rallies.

But you're probably a Hooker or Masviadal fan so emotional vibes on the night mean everything to you, LOL.
Wrong
I don't like masvidal or hooker
You're just stupid lol
 
If you would score a round for one fighter by an asshair and recognize that its so damn close you wouldn't fault anyone scoring it for the opposite fighter, then why the fuck wouldn't you just score the round 10-10?


Ideally, I would score it a 10-10 but the reality is there is a de facto principle in MMA judging to avoid 10-10's as much as possible, hence why I had to be realistic and score it for one fighter at least. The only fights where I am 100% sure a 10-10 is justified for a few rounds is Rose/Carla 2.
