It’d be wild if the final ufc fight of the year ended in a draw.

Sean should’ve listened to his coaches that middle kick was there a lot

Strickland is pissed, but he should’ve showed more urgency. 49-46 going opposite ways, weird cards again. @VerdictMMA what you got?

Crazy score cards ???

I’m happy to see Cannonier win,
But that fight was terrible to watch.A bunch of touch butt.

How is it possible to have two separate 49-46 scorecards?! 5 judges. Isolated rooms with no volume. Give it a shot #UFCFightnight
