Well it's not that surprising I did say Woodley suffers from being backed into the cage and inactivity on the feet

This 5th round he's at least got the aggression down even if he's landing nothing he might win the round depending what happens in the last minute

LOLOLOL if he pulls another 47-47 out of his ass.

Oh god we're going to see another draw aren't we

If they count the knockdown as a 10-8 it's a draw otherwise it's 48-47 WB

Crazy that if Woodley found success every time when he was aggressive but just wasn't again

Good refereeing not to stop it, some refs would have stepped in but WB was defending

I actually think we may see another draw, but it could be a majority 48-47 for WB since theyre using the old judging criteria and 10-8s are harder and it was just the one flurry

I think it's another 47-47 a lot. Insane

Under the old rules theyre using WB should get a 48-47 a lot but 47-47 is fine/correct under new rules

Judges may score r5 a 10-8 partially because

Cruz is crazy if he thinks Woodley wins outright by dec though he's scoring the fight as a whole not under 10 point, no way did Woodley win any of rounds 1-2-4

Maia must be pulling his hair out sweating this if it's another draw

oh they're using the old judging critera? WB should win then

yes! thats what you get for playing it safe, i cant really feel bad for thompson to be honest

what the hell.............


he had him on the gound for half a round and then had a flurry in the 5th. THATS NOT ENOUGH TO WIN THE FIGHT NO WAY YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING?


~????????????????????????


WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??????????????????????????

HE BACKKED HIM UP AND LIT HIM UP THE WHOLE FIGHT.

lol what

how

baffling

Judges are blind

47-47 is totally fine

I mean, I got the fight right. I got the analysis right. It doesn't matter.

I think I lose a couple units for the card now but would have won 10+

Woodley is not holding that belt for long.

wow woodley was sooo close to finishing him. wonderboy is tough af he almost finished him in both fights but he survived it

weird decision tho

Yes, they are

Somehow the judges just scored that fight for Woodley without giving a 10-8

It's utterly baffling and terrible. Whichever two judges scored any of r1/2/4 for Woodley needs to be fired.

Hard to win a decision when you don't land a punch 3/5 rounds. But you did it Woodley.

I'm thinking GSP just decided he wants to go back down to 170 after the Bisping fight

yeah your analysis was good, Woodley just doesn't have the heart of a fighter he is so afraid to go forward, stinker of a fight though. I don't think Thompson deserved to win either, I mean he also threw so little volume...

lol why the f is dan bilzerian inside the cage post fight?

I hit a +445 and a +305 and I still go away from this card feeling robbed. How did Woodley win that fight. Lol.

Hard for to me to fault WB when the other guy clearly is doing nothing

terrible title fight, both guys so tentative except for Woodley in the 5th

He was likely desperate since he knew he was losing. . .

yeah definitely don't wanna see it a 3rd time

bring on woodley/maia

he completely controlled Woodley and backed him up lighting him up, peppered him and controlled the pace and development of the fight always in control and confusing woodley

Woodly put him on the mat for half a round and landed a few shots at the end of the 5th.


Easy win to Thompson, sorry but the fight I just saw Thompson won and I should have £1700 in my account.


There are a number elements to a fight and Thompson ticked a lot of them, he lost one 5th or a 1/4 the rest was all Thompson.

I won that bet, Thompson won that fight but I am not getting paid.


Last ever UFC event I watch for the rest of my life.


good luck guys, read was there... seek your own salivation "Buddha"

Yep. 47-47 is fine. 48-47 WB is fine. If you want to give it to Woodley you have to score two rounds 10-10 (which amusingly two Sherdog guys did, even though that's terrible as Wonderboy clearly won rounds 1/2/4 through octagon control and marginally better but still not landing much striking) in which case it'd be 49-48 or one maybe 10-10 round and score a 10-8 for Woodley in the fifth?

In either case i'm disappointed, Woodley's only good fight in forever was knocking out Lawler with basically the first punch he threw and I want Maia to choke him out.

Screw Maia vs Masvidal, now that GSP is booked and Woodley took no significant damage in that fight just make it Woodley vs Maia instead.

It's not like Woodley can claim he deserves a money fight after that performance he'll be less of a draw ever plus he's a paper champion, I mean look at the media scores. Draw is fine, Wonderboy is fine, how the **** can you score it 48-47 Woodley without a 10-10 round which i'm under the impression they can't give unless literally nothing happens and while the rounds were fairly uneventful, Wonderboy landed at least one significant strike and had full octagon control for 3 rounds.

I'd be more upset about losing my bet if Elkins didn't make what was a flukish comeback so i'm still close to even for the card, but being robbed of a +15u card or similar because of ****ty judging sucks.

it is pretty funny woodley bitched UFC doesn't market him before this fight

wtf do you want them to market?

completely controlled? The only thing thompson was doing every round was throwing 5 leg kicks which were also blocked. If Thompson wanted to win he should have landed some sinificant strikes I mean come on.
