Hard to argue that Reyes did not win 1-3 (agreed)

I’m cool w/the decision, Jones is the best ever , gotta finish stronger in 4/5 to take it from the best ever ,imho

Run it back let’s see what’s up with more rounds

That was a good show
 
Some talking heads & social media brought up a pretty interesting mma suggestion for judging .

Open scoring , after each round everyone knows how the round was scored by each judge . Pretty brilliant idea .

Fight was close, but if it had gone another round Jones woulda just continued to beat him up. When its that close IMHO you give it to the champ, want the belt? It's gotta be a decisive victory, plus Reyes never really hurt him. Jones should retire with his perfect record (that one loss wasn't actually a loss) as the GOAT now, it's only downhill from here.
 
Idk about retiring yet he still a bad bad dude . It should quiet down all the move up to heavy weight for the challenge/competition talk . He clearly as all he can handle right where he is .

I think they both got fucked up in that instant classic fight it just wasn’t upper body damage ,even w/Reyes fractured nose. Their equally damaging lower body attacks were cringe worthy through out the fight,savages . I got action says they are both still limping as we speak ;)

Reyes camp has a right to be pissed clearly there’s argument that he won . For me Jones was always the hunter and not the hunted in all 5 rounds . Even on his angled retreats to escape danger he reset his feet and went back on the hunt ,controlling the center . It’s the main reason I’m still cool w/the out come . Plus Reyes was carried back to dressing room while jones walked out .

What an unexpected great show .Ive looped it back couple times now ,good shit !

Yeah it was pretty good, I'd watch a rematch for sure. Jones reminds me of Lennox Lewis, a chess player, fight IQ through the roof. The way he paces himself while moving forward almost the entire fight is pretty amazing.
 
It was a close fight. Reyes has nothing to be sour over. Rounds 4 and 5 should have a greater value than 1-3. After all, they are called championship rounds for a reason. Even in the event that reyes was up 3-2, he clearly didn't win any of the championship rounds. I think its fair judging to give the W to someone who won the championship rounds vs someone who won the first 3 rounds.

After watching the fight almost a dozen times now, the fight was a lot closer than what I originally thought. A lot of the strike differences didn't mean to make much significance. A lot of reyes blows don't connect smoothly or flush. Reyes best round was the 2nd. A strike difference of 13 strikes of which 3 being significant strikes. The three I found I would say had more grit and force behind them, but again, did not land its best mark or flush.

With that, the same can be said for one of Jones take downs. Take downs count but sometimes I think they shouldn't get any points if no damage was done or you did not advance your opponent into a vulnerable position ( took his back i.e.) . One of Jones take downs he did just that. Took reyes back and was landing some decent blows from ground angles. I think the other take downs should count for nothing. Nothing was gained other than you took your opponent off his feet, for a fleeting moment.

They should run it back, and this time I think Jones will make a more definitive case.
 
I was surprised with the Lewis Latifi fight, I was so sure Derrick was getting an easy KO. I don’t know how anyone at 5’9/5’10 can compete at heavyweight. I was always amazed with Cormier.
 
I heard K Florian say after rewatching the fight he could see how the one judge scored it 4-1Jones. I watched it again too and unless I'm confused on MMA scoring each round is worth the same amount(max 10). Rounds 4 and 5 are worth 10 (max) each. With that being said 4 and 5 went to Jon without a doubt. Did any of you think Jones won any of the first three rounds? If you did you don't understand how to score MMA Sorry if that ruffles feathers.
It was a competitive fight but I had no difficulty deciding how to score the rounds and so the tile of GOAT remains with Lobov #hammertime#FakeWin!#Picogramsforever!
 
Dodson v wood is lil man match I’ve been looking forward to .

Edith 7:07 pm :thought Dodson was better .won but won’t run any more bets through him in future .

Diego will always be one of my favorite fighters and a true OG of the UFC. I see he's taking a lot of flak for not continuing to fight, but I dont blame him. Dude was laced by an obvious illegal knee which cut him open. I dont understand why he was even asked if he wanted to continue? Should have been a automatic DQ like in the Weaver/Vargas fight, right?

I agree. I also think that needs to be Diego’s last fight.
 
Yikes, brutal KO by Jan of Corey Anderson. I don't think Jan has a style that can defeat jones. I don't think the fight will be much different than that with Gust. I think Jones should run it back with Dom, and he certainly has proven worthy of a rematch and is certainly a better fight than Jan.
