Barboza won that fight...

[Ackmed]

Barboza's been getting bad luck. Eyepoke by Justin that wasnt stopped and led to a KO, then Felder initiates a timeout for a Felder-initiated headbutt, then a controversial decision loss

 

[Frode Falch]

Nah. He deserved to lose for the headbutts.

Wtf

 

[Exemplar]

Good fight. I had it surely Barbasol Rd1, Felder Rd3. It seemed to come down to how Rd2 was seen.

Barbasol cardio gave out in Rd3. If these two have a third bout as a headliner, Felder will have advantage in champ rounds.

 

[kfighter]

White privilege won that fight

 

[Alpha_T83]

Wtf

Edson fought so dirty. There were two clearly intentional headbutts that results in cuts on Felder's left hairline and right eyebrow.

Edson should have been deducted a point. The right man won that fight.

prove it

Look at the fight stats, dickhead

 

[ApplesVild]

I thought Barboza won it but there you go

 

[Frode Falch]

White privilege won that fight

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

The 30-27 score was ridiculous, but one could make an argument for round 2. He certainly won round 3.

I had it 2-1 Barboza, but Felder merely winning isn't the biggest robbery in the world because round 2 was fairly competitive. If it had been a pair of 29-28s, that would be within the bounds of reasonableness, even if I wouldn't exactly agree.

 

[HeLLMuTT]

Not a robbery by any means.

Numbers wise rounds 1 & 2 were close Round 3 was not.

Barboza was back peddling 90% of the fight and got beat up pretty good as did Felder but not as bad imo.

I didn't know who was gunna get the decision. I thought it was a close and good fight.

He was up 2 rounds to zero. Nothing you can do. When the UFC wants to fix a fight, they will. Especially in a place like Abu Dhabi where it is much easier for them to fix.

 

[ufc20]

30-27 Felder?
Either they got the fighters mixed up or filled out the card before the fight started.

 

[Spacetrucker]

Terrible decision...2 judges gave Felder 2 rounds? Ridiculous

Awesome av.

 

[iknowthefuture]

Look at the fight stats, dickhead

you said he " won the fight", i said PROVE it. Numbers dont do that, you need to prove it by explaining.

 

[mime]

Big time robbery.

30-27 Felder?

Wtf?

score cards were weird, its possible that judge screwed up and scored it flipped, its happened before

 

[Terry St John]

Barboza totally got robbed. Dana White was in it with Whitey Bulger and the Irish mafia. Paul Felder is the Irish Dragon. Duh!!! Who would ever bet on that fight. Barboza was only winning if he scored a knock out. Plus Felder is an ESPN analyst and fight perception thrower like Rogan; he can call a fight to create the perception that someone is winning who is not winning. He needs an Irishman right now (without McGregor) more than he needs another Brazilian. Its become an international business. There is fight strategy and there is business strategy and sometimes one taps out to the other. When you gamble you have to read the fights and think why one fighter winning could be a bigger benefit to the company than another. You have to mix that in with stats to pick your winner these days. The fight game has always been run by low life degenerates in nice suits. If you think that there could be shade on any fight and think through it...you will win more bets. I knew not to bet on that one. Even though I thought Barboza would beat Felder.

 

[Anderson Silva]

He won 1,2 and 3rd was close. How did Felder get the noD??

 

[azerty]

yeah, weird decision ,especially considering felder got a 30-27

 

[Croton]

Second rd was close enough to go either way. Both 30/27 scores were ridiculous though

 

[Cherry]

Stop misusing the term robbed
