The Real Winners and Losers from UFC 247

The UFC 247 card in Houston was silly with recurring themes. Hometown fighters didn’t do so well. Fighters who arrived as favorites did even worse. And the judges…well, let’s just say the judges have had nights that were a lot less complicated…

Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya responded to the controversial UFC 247 main event on Saturday night.

Jones narrowly defended his light heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes after all three judges scored the fight in his favor. However, it was a controversial verdict, especially as many felt Reyes did enough to win the first three rounds.

It didn’t help matters that one of the judges scored the fight 49-46 to Jones which drew major criticism from the mixed martial arts world.

As for Jones’ performance, Adesanya didn’t seem impressed in the slightest as he gave his reaction on Twitter soon after.

Adesanya notably had a vested interest in the fight seeing as he predicted him and Jones would face each other in 2021. Based on the performance, “The Last Stylebender” might fancy his chances even more if that super fight eventually comes to fruition.

For now, he has his hands full as he defends his middleweight title for the first time against Yoel Romero in the main event of UFC 248 on March 7.

What do you think of Adesanya’s reaction?

The mixed martial arts (MMA) community is losing its mind over last night’s (Sat. February 8, 2020) UFC 247 main event between Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes.

The pair headlined the pay-per-view (PPV) event from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Jones and Reyes put on an absolute classic, with many believing Reyes clearly won the first three rounds. With that being said, the judges awarded Jones the fight via unanimous decision, which resulted in a tremendous amount of boos from the arena. Twitter was no different. The MMA community took to Twitter to voice their frustrations with the officiating.

Many are in agreement that Reyes should’ve won the fight, and was robbed. Of course, there are some out there who believe the fight could’ve gone either way, or that Jones was rightfully crowned the winner. However, the majority seem to be of the opinion that Reyes was robbed of the title.

Check out how the MMA community reacted to the controversial decision below.

Humble so each by Jones. Fair play.

If you scored that 49-46 for Jones you have no business scoring the biggest title fights in the world. #UFC247

Not sure about the score cards . They awarded pressure tonight . What scores more PRESSURE or point strikes ? There’s is no concrete answer . We need a standard judging system! #UFC247

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) February 9, 2020

Not robbery. Close fight, could have gone either way. 3-1 or 2-2 going into 5th. I thought 3-2 Reyes but the fight was so close it could have gone either way.

— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) February 9, 2020

I don't agree with the scoring. But I knew I could've went either way.#UFC247

Crowd is booing LOUD after Jon Jones is announced as the winner #UFC247

— Helen Yee (@HelenYeeSports) February 9, 2020

Man. That’s a doozy. Need to watch it again but the first two were clearly Reyes. Round 3 close. Last two were Jones.

— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) February 9, 2020

Booooooooo!!!!! #ufc247

— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) February 9, 2020

Wow! Jones retains with scorecards of 48-47, 48-47, 49-46. It was a very very close fight, but Jones is #AndStill. Whoever had the 49-46 cards needs a new job. pic.twitter.com/PHM7H2Q4Hd

This is embarrassing for the sport.

Takedowns???? What takedowns??? #UFC247

— Gerald Meerschaert (@The_Real_GM3) February 9, 2020

The decisions tonight were all wrong . They need vet fighters to become judges for our sport

— Eddie Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) February 9, 2020

I had Reyes in the first three rounds. Credit to Jones on coming on strong 4th and 5th but I would of guessed Reyes won that fight on scorecards.

— Chris Weidman (@chrisweidman) February 9, 2020

Really came down to how judges called round 3. Reyes fought extremely well. Came out hot. Seeing a Jones that isn’t fighting with the same creativity he had before. Still game but this Jones is a little too predictable in 2019/2020. #UFC246

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) February 9, 2020

MOTHER FUCKING ROBBERY DOM WON THAT FIGHT

— Diego Sanchez UFC (@DiegoSanchezUFC) February 9, 2020

@DomReyes so impressive. @JonnyBones always knowing how to get the win. Calmly dismantled. Fight IQ always out of this world #UFC247
