I got burns winning

Smart fight by both Burns and Nelson. I’d give it a draw. 1 to Nelson. 2 to Burns and 3 a draw bc Burns got the takedown but Nelson had the cage control for most of the round. @ufc

Rountree fought emotionally he should’ve defended the takedowns fully and kept trying to kill before defending
