I didn't say it shouldn't count. I said it should be a draw at best. Aldo had him out on his feet. Zahabi had him hurt but able to ride out the round.

Aldo's offence shoyuld score more than Zahabi's as Aldo dropped him multiple times and was a single shot away from being finished. Zahabi did well but not enough to outdo that IMO.
You're on the wrong side of history this time. Aldo retired afterwards which says it all. He literally didn't want any more and did everything except say I quit those last 2-3 minutes.
 
Because Zahabi came back from his beating to not only win but dominate while Aldo was all but pleading for the clock to run out and had literally given up. If certain Sherdoggers weren't blinded by emotion and saw this exact thing happen in any other fight they'd agree and deep down inside you know this.

Again, you can't say a fighter who's getting pummeled and the ref stops it early has the right to keep competing and still try but then turn around and say everything that happened after Aldo gassed and got dominated shouldn't count. People doing this are literally arguing against themselves.
That wasn't even a 10-8 let alone a win for Zahabi. Even with Aldo basically immobile for 2.5 minutes he still did more damage in the round unless you think blood is really icky or something.

Not arguing that Aldo won 3, but I think he won 1 and 2 convincingly, won the first half of the third, then gassed in the last half. Zahabi was in a dominant position only in the last 2 minutes after Jose had gassed and he still didn't have the fight IQ or, Devils advocate, his wits about him enough to finish Aldo who was literally just laying there.
