    I was shocked when 2 of the judges had it only 3-2 to Rory. I also thought is was VERY easy to score first 4 to Rory and rd 5 to Gracie. First time I had seen Gracie fight and wasn't all that impressed with him. Decent fighter but nothing special imo. I expect Lima to beat Rory in the rematch.

    Everybody is entitled to an opinion even the casuals who don't know how to score properly but as I said I have no issue with anybody having that score but only those saying it was clearly 4 rounds to 1 even those scoring the 2nd round for Rory made it clear it was close and could go either either way.
    Lima is a fringe contender that probably should beat this version of Rory but I will probably still pick against Lima if I can get the right price.

    You're correct in that there will always be a healthy debate when discussing scoring of fights and rds that are close.

    For me Lima is one of if not the best 170 lb fighter in the world today, far from just a fringe contender. Even though I scored their first fight to Rory it was razor thin and Rory took a tonne of damage. I'm a fan of both fighters, they are class.

    I don't think Lima is quite that good but agree with everything else both are class acts I was just reading this tweet about Lima which I thought was pretty cool
