Be pretty cool to hear from them why they scored it how they did before they get shat on.

Gladly.

First round, I valued the impact of the strikes. The totals seemed quite close, within five or so I'd wager, but the physical impact (swelling, laceration, etc) on Borrelho's face around his temple and right eye (not counting the eye poke) was visible to me. He seemed to take the shots worse than Magomedov. Most of Borralho's strikes in the round were leg kicks, while Magomedov was largely headhunting. Borralho failed on his takedown so there was nothing of note in the grappling category in R1 for me to score. One of the three judges agreed that Magomedov won R1. I had it 10-9 Magomedov.

Second round, they were extremely close in terms of striking. Again, the determining factor for me scoring R2 for Magomedov was that his strikes to the head and body seemed more damaging individually, but it was the kind of coin-flip round where you could give it to Borralho as well. All three judges gave that one to Borralho. I had it 10-9 Magomedov.

Third round, it was a clear round for Borralho, some even considered it a 10-8. I had it 10-9 Borralho, for a total of 29-28 Magomedov, but it was exceptionally close and I have no issue with a 29-28 for Caio or even a 30-27 for that matter.

As a reminder, we don't see strike stats when scoring live, and if we do get them on the broadcast, we do not give them much credence because they are unofficial. If some people viewed R1 as extremely close, and some people viewed R2 also as extremely close, then what's the issue with seeing both rounds for one fighter?
 
Who cares really, the UFC has become a joke, their product sucks now. Rizin and One are both way better imo. If the UFC wants to stick with the old rules then so be it, but it makes for a bad watered down product.

"Leg kicks don't win fights" is a continued theme for bad judges.

In every decision I disagree with somebody or they disagree with me. It is what it is.

The first fight tonight. A split of 29 - 28, 30 - 27, 28 - 29 for Diakiese. I saw no way that Fernandez won 2 rounds.

Other than the jokers saying 3-0 Fernandez cos Wrestling is boring did anyone not a judge give Fernandez 2 rounds?
Would be curious to see the Media Scores on that one, to me it was 100% 3-0 Marc

The newest thing is dumping twitter reposts into ufc discussion

Y'all should be fired for letting the UFC discussion turn into lightweights and the great beyond

I can appreciate that.

I am lazy so stick with UFC (I don’t know how to watch One or Rizin) but really do enjoy KOTS sometimes.

I enjoyed this undercard a lot tho.

I would have scored it the same. With a few additional points of view that would just anger TS, so I won’t mention em lol.

I have been plenty of times. I have no issues with the blowback either. Everyone here knows everything and has never been wrong or contrarian, right? Lol.
