49-46? Interesting

I don't really disagree, when the person on top of getting hit more and not trying to advance position it should go to the person on the bottom actually landing strikes. But they never judge it like that

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.
Shows the subtlety in grappling dominant fights and the difficulty in judging them, especially with judges who have no idea.

In my view, Shev likely wins 3-2, but should walk away feeling very lucky.

4-1 Shavchenko is ****ed

When I heard 49-46 I thought it was going the other way

Never leave it to the judges in boxing/ mma
Think Santos should of engaged more in stand up, she definitely deserves another shot.

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?

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.

From what I’m seeing on Sherdog and Twitter opinions vary widely on this fight, quite a few see it 49-46 so you’re not wrong

nice payday for Glover but Jiri should take over...
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
