Burn it to the ground
that was a lot closer than I thought it would be, shame about Thiago's leg. hopefully he can get it taken care of instead of just getting progressively worse and never challenging again

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Jones is insanely tepid with bad/injured fighters. He doesn't go for the kill.

not tepid against bad/injured, he's tepid always in that unless the guy is absolutely dead or a scramble he will not go for a killshot, hes not a one punch guy

48-47 is an indefensible score imo, was clearly 49-46 or 48-47 Santos

Dana probably would have preferred Santos to win by split because then he'd have a match to promote. That rematch would make more money than any match that Jones could get next.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
I agree with the decision. Thantos did well but really struggled during rounds 3 and 4. 5 was about even but slightly in his favor. 2 was the same but for Jones.

Had $200 on Santos amto win $1100 and after that first score was announced I had hope and than it came crashing down.

Least my Masvidal bet got me some money back.

We're all doomed
They let Jon Jones just fail drug tests with no consequences now so that he can coast to a decision against a guy that blew his knee out and had trouble standing for most of the bout

He's usually way more aggressive with his attacks though. I think was strategy was to wear Santos down or wait for him to gas and then turn up but neither of those things really happened.

What really sucks is that if that's an ACL, Santos isnt fighting for 2 years, and he's not exactly young now. That's as good as he's gonna get. We can't even get a guy to improve on success against Jones.
