the decision gonna be so close wth..

i got it 3-2 max but can argue draw. depends on how the takedowns get scored. they didnt do anything, but theyve been takedowns

//Edit

not a fan of that decision, i gotta say. the FW champ got outstruck in both his title fights and dropped two times today. somehow still doesnt feel established as a champ for me.

My guy won and they robbed the dude.

Had Max 3-2, but man that third round was razor sharp. I don’t think this loss diminishes Halloway’s future chances at all, but being down 0-2 against him is going to be tough to overcome.

Max was absolutely robbed

Usman is too much

Snoozeman lives up to his name what a boring fight

Fight went exactly how I thought it would've, as much as we all would've loved to see Usman stand and exchange with Masvidal. Usman strength, clinch and wrestling is just too much for fighters to overcome in this division. Considering he had to change his approach a week out, we all knew he was going to lean on his bread and butter.

Overall it was a good card, sad Max lost but the main card wasn't a complete waste.

Usman is boring just like GSP was late in his career happy with decisions..that's 9 decisions in Usmans last 11 fights

Meh, I think to beat the champ you must do better than a toss up. If the challenger loses both championship rounds and gets "close enough" in the 3rd, that's hardly a robbery.

I was wrong about Mas. He had no answer for Usmans holding and neutralizing style. Usman is boring because he fights not to lose. But you still gotta have an answer for that and Mas did not.

I'm still up $ thanks to Yan, volk, and jiri, but still major disappointment.

This is why he won’t be remembered or make big time money dude is boring as hell who wants to watch toe stomps all night

Rough night for me. Two of my favs lost.

Usman is boring but a worthy champion. Hats oft to him.

I find it funny that woodley got hated so much for trying to win, and fight strategic. These days it doesnt seem to be a problem anymore.

Idk what to do with 145, is there anybody that can compete with max and volk? Run it back man!

Man even the scorecards for the Halloway fight just looks weird. Gonna need someone to explain that one to me.
