For those who weren't watching, everyone made weight. Barao had to take off his shorts, but made it on his 2nd try with the towel

This fight card is weird. The best matchups are not backloaded at all, they are distributed throughout the card. There's 2, maybe 3 fights on the main card I'm interested in, 2 good fights in the prelims, and 2 cool fights on the early fightpass prelims.

I don't want to be a judge for this fight. I'd be fine with literally any score.

You don't see that very often. Lauzon was like "he's out cold, I'm not hitting him anymore"

How are so many people struggling to score these fights? 30-37 or possibly 29-28 barboza

I'm not trying to score the fight based on how I feel. Thats very easy, everyone has an opinion of who won unless its truly 50/50 round.

I'm trying to predict how the judges would score it.

By saying 'boy this is hard to read the minds of 3 people' rather than watching the fight and saying what he thinks

No, what I'm doing is identifying rounds where I can confidently say "OK, this round is definitely going to fighter X unless we have the very most braindead of judges"

If its somewhat close where one fighter should probably win and 80% of knowledgable MMA fans would give it to him, but could get screwed on bad judging, then we gotta wait and see on that round.

Yeah, this is 20-18 Tate. Eye needs a finish

This should be a 30-27 UD.

Was that a stand up for the illegal kicks or because of lovely reffing?

inactivity. Eye had Tate's arms hopelessly locked down to the point where Tate could only throw a weak kick and Eye could do nothing but keep it locked down. A standup was necessary.

10-9 for the champion

This looks exactly like their last fight

Dillashaw is so God drat good. A lesser fighter would have gone berserk after he hurt his opponent, but TJ knows he is almost guaranteed to win a long fight

Oh, and 20-18, obviously

Barao's only chance is to land some crazy haymaker
