Shows the subtlety in grappling dominant fights and the difficulty in judging them, especially with judges who have no idea.Santos in my mind has only won Round 03.
Shevchenko was in a serious body triangle and on her back in Rounds 01 and 02. Santos did well to get the positions, but Shevchenko was completely and utterly butchering her head the entire time in a complete disadvantage of a position.
Am I missing something with all this favourable commentary for Santos? I do not see how she (Shevchenko) loses this on a decision.
I do not mean to suggest that the fight was in no way close or that Santos was completely outclassed, but in real time I was just thinking that Santos did well to get Shevchenko in to dangerous positions, but that she was just doing no damage or posing any real threats (rounds 1 and 2) while Shevchenko was butchering from those dangerous positions. Not just punches thrown for the sake of it either. All connected - at some point in the third I think I read that on the live statistics, Shevchenko was going at 100% on strikes too?I question that too but Hate saw it that way I think, would be interesting on a rewatch

Will probably re-watch it, but think I will ultimately come to the same conclusion.
I think Santos will be around the mark in the future. A rematch likely at some point.
I could easily see Glover doing the same he did to Jan. Absolute 50/50 fight for me but I don't see it being closenice payday for Glover but Jiri should take over...
Clemens for an encoreClemens should be sacked.

F*** you stream missed the start!!!I could easily see Glover doing the same he did to Jan. Absolute 50/50 fight for me but I don't see it being close
either easy takedown and sub or Jiri takes his head off
