MMA-UFC UFC 286 - Edwards vs Usman 3

[Struggle]

The co main is the fight before the main event.

It's probably the only negative of multiple great fights on the one card - not having fights like these go for 5.

I'd prefer this going for 3. Would be slower pace and much more reserved over 5

 

[Ry009]

Leg kicks all day from Leon.

 

[RU_]

Usman got hurt ribs? He’s really affected by those body kicks.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Edwards hurt by a jab.

 

[burge13]

Body kicks going to add up eventually

 

[Around the Wicket]

1-1 I think.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Horrible decision to take a point in a title fight.

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

blatantly obvious, no excuses

 

[Ry009]

Shut the **** up DC. Bisping is right.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Scoring in this could be all over the shop.. could have been 2-0 Leon or 1-1 going into the 3rd and then the 3rd could easily have been a 9-9 or 10-8.

 

[burge13]

Horrible decision to take a point in a title fight.

Id like to see it more tbh. So many fouls and blatant cheating as they know they can get away with it. Fence grabs especially, groin shots are unlucky i can see warnings, fence grabs need punishment

Thats why I think its a horrible decision because it happens all the time and nothing is done

So do it more. Doesnt mean its a bad decision when they finally do their job as refs...

 

[Around the Wicket]

Usman for someone that can get a takedown so well he is honestly useless when he gets them to the ground

 

[Around the Wicket]

Watching it you'd think Edwards is up well but scorecards will be all over the place here.

This will be a split decision.

 

[Ry009]

I hope Edwards KOs Usman into next Sunday again, but was hard not to take a point from him. Reffing in UFC is as bad as the umpiring in AFL though.

Leon put his hand there...signalling to everyone, esp. the ref....watch my hand......watch my hand....now I grab

what excuse has he got ? it wasn't like his hand was on the ground and it was some natural/accidental action when standing up

Edwards 1/2/4 were 10-9, and round 3 was 10-8 with the point deduction. Usman needs a finish IMO.

 

[Around the Wicket]

10-9 Leon
10-9 Usman
10-8 Usman
10-9 Leon
10-9 Leon

imo should be the most common scorecard so may see a draw?

scorecards will be all over the shop though, split decision chances are high.

I gave Usman 2 so I think it might be a draw here, though the crowd could influence the judges for Edwards. What a great fight, def the two best WWs in the UFC

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

don't feel the challenger has done enough to take the belt from the champ...but a point may come into play

 

[RobbyRoy]

Edwards clearly the better fighter imo, but the scoring system should make this interesting.

Great fight. I'll need to watch it again but don't think he did enough for round 2.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Fair result imo.

Watching it Edwards appeared to be the better fighter.

 

[the_interloper]

Great fight. I'll need to watch it again but don't think he did enough for round 2.

Close as hell, well done Edwards, got no real problem with the decision, two saw it his way
