Terrible decision.... Blaydes lost that fight

[Trabaho]

Tom Aspinall's best win.

Pavlovich, Volkov ? Blaydes also beat Overeem.

That post was made with @AndrewGolota48 's best brain cells.

I think Blaydes did just enough, but neither guy deserved to win.

Those wins are all about the same level I would say. Very good, solid wins. Jones in 2 fights already has a better HW resume though, pretty embarrassing.

Clear 2-1 for Blaydes. Shit performance though.

43 yr old retired fire fighter Stipe and Gane are better than those 3???

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Worst robbery of 2025, and maybe '24 and '23 as well.

 

[muaythaibeast]

Score fights as a whole based on total cumulative damage is a hill I will die on.

Would definitely get less robberies.

lmao no he doesn't. His best win is Gane who lost to Volkov and would lose to Blaydes.

Yeah in your bizarre fantasy world I guess that's a solid point.

Unfortunetly Bladyes did win the fight.

Pride rules, hell no, the Russian dude would have won. But Blaydes wall and stalled his way to a 10-9 in rounds 1 and 3

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

Problem is it's too subjective especially for 5 rounders. If I was the judge I'd just give Kuniev the 3rd round to create poetic justice.

It creates clearer directives for fighters.

It’s already subjective anyways, but now everyone understands what we are doing out here.

Blaydes won, but it was “razor” close

So should we be more liberal with 10-8s and 10-10s? The status quo of almost every round being a 10-9 unless someone is nearly finished leaves you with a guy winning a dominant round 10-9 and potentially losing two toss up rounds that should have been 10-10 to lose a fight he clearly won.

Gane is 2-0 against Volkov and fought the last one with a triple foot fracture.

 

[Chagaev]

Both guys looked mediocre, but Blaydes got beat up. I exected more from Blaydes.

 

[Ghostoftheville]

I fell asleep before the decision was announced, I assumed he lost

Nah, then the complaint would be "he had one good round then did nothing for the rest of the fight". In some instances it would literally be one good strike winning a fight

 

[Trigger Dave]

I don't know, Blaydes looked pretty bad in the fight, but I would score also 2-1 for him.

I expected that judges would give win to Kuniev based on how damaged they looked. Scoring was obviously 1-1 heading to the third round, but for me Curtis had done enough to claim that last round.
Even though, he was probably a lot closer to get KO'd in the last few minutes.

Also, as some mentioned earlier, Kuniev should have point deductions for how many times he grabbed the fence.

 

[Tibbles]

Reminds be a bit of Rampage vs Machida back in the day where Machida won the only round that was really significant but Rampage squeeked out the other two rounds to get the win. Still think Kuniev did enough in the 3rd though.
