    Souza did nothing after round 1. I hate seeing Jits guys lose but that was quite a reasonable card imo. Gastelum clearly won the second and the third could have gone to either man.

    "Did nothing." He was landing pretty regularly. Other than the knockdown he arguably got the better of the striking in both rounds.

    Didn't watch this one all the way through but Souza tired badly late.

    Without a doubt. Weidman battered him but that loss aside he's proven himself at a very high level.

    Yeah and despite being tired he got 2 brief takedowns in the 3rd and was still landing some nice shots and the odd kick. Gastelum pressed more but I'd say he was outpointed in the 3rd.

    He had no snap in his shots at all and never really looked to have Kelvin in trouble. His takedown attempts were awful and he was timing Souza throughout 2&3.

    Rounds 1&2 were easy to score. Round 3 could have gone to either man. The decision is far from bs imo. Souza looked terrible tonight

    They were good shots. Sure a bit of pop was missing from them due to fatigue, but they still score and you've also got to remember that Gastelum has a solid chin. Souza did enough to edge it. Not a highway robbery but still BS as Jacare clearly outpointed Gastelum in the 3rd. Unless you value pressing over actual scoring. Jacare did better there.

    Media scores slightly favor Jacare on MMA Decisions currently.

    Pennington definitely having a good 2nd, ground/side, could be dangerous for Nunes if she's not careful.

    Hard fought victory for Nunez. No way she competes with Cyborg
