This fight makes or breaks the card. If its not great, then UFC 174 will be remembered as hot garbage.

That was close.

no idea what the score could be. could be 19-19 or 20-18 either way

Serious? Its 20-18 MM. Not close IMO. Looking like 5-0 sweep unless MM gets the stoppage.
[Reply]

DJ probably won at least 1 round. 2 others are close.
[Reply]

How do you figure? MM is dominating the striking and all the Russian has is 2 takedowns that last about 5 seconds total. This is an ass whipping.

The judges are not listening to Joe Rogan's commentary. Ali looked better than what he was suggesting in the first 2 rounds.
[Reply]

Even though he didn't do much with it, Ali's got DJ dominated on control in the first 2 rounds. Its a classic case of what you value: marginal striking or control.

Control is not worth zero if you don't get a submission out of it.

160 to 50 strikes? What are you watching?
[Reply]

I think DJ clearly won rounds 3 and 4.

The first 2 rounds are a tossup. So, the score is somewhere between a tie, DJ by 2 rounds, or a shutout.

I'm not ignoring the wrestling and takedowns.

This is not boxing
[Reply]

In any event, this is not a good fight.

We did not get $45 worth of entertainment
[Reply]

DJ won the last 3 rounds, and therefore the fight.

Only question is the score.
[Reply]

50-45 all 3 judges. Sober up and watch it again tomorrow :-)

MM dominated that fight start to finish, IMO. He looked untouched in the end. Yeah, he got taken down a couple of times but was right back up within seconds.

The way he took Bagautinov's back was pretty much the scariest thing I have ever seen.
