idk how you can call it a robbery when media polling and fan scorecards had Pitbull winning.
The only answer is Belal "Forget the name because I fell asleep watching him fight" Muhammad

McKee moved up because he knows he’s 2-0 already and isn’t going to feed into Bellators wish of a trilogy"Robbed" and they are not even making a trilogy, AJ moved up to 155 and called out Bendo & Usman Nurmagomedov. Pitbull stays at 145 and probably defends against Borics

I am truly convinced that a good portion of posters on this website have no idea what an actual robbery is.
The fighter you wanted to win but lost a closely contested fight is not a robbery. It almost never is.

Belal vs Luque was unwatchable, didn't enjoy it at all, I swear from half way in round 1 I knew it was going to decision. Has Belal ever finished an opponent? I feel like his fights always go to decision when he wins. No finishing ability at all and never really lets go.
I was happy Pitbull won, and I had it 3-2 for Pitbull. Been a fan of Pitbull since the very early Bellator seasons way back in the day

McKee lost that fight.
He gave ground throughout, was hurt/staggered multiple times, while never once being a threat to Pitbull
When hurt, McKee panic-grappled himself "into the safe zone" every time, which everyone knows what that looks like, rather than trying to dominate the fistic exchanges himself.
McKee also barely-escaped a significant submission attempt by Pitbull.
You don't win fights by backing up, getting hurt, almost getting submitted, while never offering a threat yourself. That's how you lose fights.
Funny, most people agree that's why McKee lost the second fight.
McKee is a talented fighter, who got lucky in the first fight, by catching Pitbull cold and exploiting the opportunity.
That won't happen again, which is why McKee won't want a third fight.

McKee lost that fight fair and square.

This is an odd statement...
McKee and Pitbull have only fought twice now...are you trying to say that McKee is robbed of a title defense because he lost and now Bellator may try and make the trilogy fight? As if, Bellator knew McKee was going to win?
Pitbull was a title defense for McKee, McKee simply lost.

I actually found the Belal/Luque fight entertaining. Some decent exchanges, each caught the other with some good shots. Great takedowns from Belal, wild stand-ups from Luque. Entertaining scrap!
McKee/Pitbull on the other hand was kind of disappointing. It seemed like McKee entered the fight with one game-plan in mind and didn't have an answer for when Pitbull refused to follow the script. Each landed a couple decent kicks, but neither did enough to warrant a 'robbery' either way. Just going off the commentary, you would've thought it was a blow-out for McKee. But it was a really close, minimalistic kind of fight from both ends.

McKee vs pitbull was the bigger disappointment to me because they’re both entertaining fighters but they put on a boring fight. I was expecting something exciting, I was pretty much expecting the Muhammad fight to be a snoozer.

By far Ptibull and McKee..........not from a decision standpoint as it was a very close fight and no matter who won we'd be have the same discussions. It was disappointing fight from a fans point of view. Just two guys who became overly cautious to engage for 5 rounds. Going in you thought there was good chance of it be a very entertaining fight. Then on top of it you had the issue in the co main event so it all just was bad from a fan point of view.

Don't you know? The closer the fight is the more people scream robbery. There is almost never a legitimate case where the fighter that won clearly lost. It's rare.

IMO the more entertaining event was Bellator, but both main events were meh.
I guess I'd say Luque/Belal was more entertaining, not by much though.
Mckee/Pitbull was good at some parts, maybe I was expecting too much out of it since the co-main ended in underwhelming fashion.
The UFC event had some boring fights and two annoying technical decision which made no sense. I'm also tired of watching fights at the Apex.
Outside of the co-main(it was a good fight before the NC) and main event, Bellator's event was pretty solid even with the lesser known names fighting.
I'd say Pitbull won the fight, Mckee really underestimated him this time around and I'm glad Pitbull won.
