Kattar vs. Ige would be a great fight. I feel like Kattar might deserve a slight step-up in competition though. Maybe match Barboza with Stephens?
I don't think more judges it the answer. Because it's not like there are only 3 bad judges in all. If 2 out of 3 can't get it right, what gaurantee is there that 3 out of 5, or 5 out of 7 will? They just need to flush out these couch potato judges and get people who actually understand what they are looking at. But it seems like becoming a judge is not an easy process and there is a lot of bureaucracy involved.I agree, I wasn't really serious.
We need more judges ( 5 would be good ), but imagine being Ige, what do you gain by fighting barbota again ? when you could fight a better ranked fighter, and get closer to a TS ( and also easier fight potentially ).
more judges, more likely to have a right decision.I don't think more judges it the answer. Because it's not like there are only 3 bad judges in all.

In all honesty, it will probably be ok. His bosses think he's won two in a row, despite what the judges say. He should have won 3 of his last 4 with his only loss coming to Gaethje, no shame in that. A positive if you're a fan is that he actually looks pretty damn good.
The decision has sort of eclipsed the fact that people expected him to get smoked by the pressure fighter in Ige who is on a long win streak. Edson is handling these guys.
Barboza has amazing technique but a very low fight IQ and/or poor coaches. He never changes things up.
Nooooo, wow you're a casual...lolBarboza made the same mistake 3 times in a row, he should learn to finish guys. Barboza's fault.
Dan Ige won officially, he move on unless the UFC won't him to rematch barboza.
Ige and Kattar train at the same campWhy isnt Ige calling out Kattar instead? Or the winner of Burgos/Emmett??

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect it, but it is by far the minority, maybe due to new scoring?I'm gonna be honest. I never watched the fight. I just watched round 2 in isolation, since it's the swing round. (Y'all know where to find it, you can do the same). Kinda surprised people scored that for Edson. He really had no clean strikes for like 4:30 of the round, cept a couple of knees in a clinch, which Ige answered back with body blows. A few times, Ige hit clean and Barboza had to do wobble legs back to his stance. One body shot that didn't even drop Ige, just had him shooting for time, during which Edson could only spend maybe 10 seconds of ground and pound to capitalize on and he wins? That's some real fuckin short attention span scoring to give Edson that.
If everyone's agreed round 1 went to Edson and round 3 to Dan? Then Dan won that fight. Sorry
Thanks, I feel confused cuz I'm usually in the majority (except for Aldo-Moraes, but at least that one, I had a better breakdown for)You are entitled to your opinion and I respect it, but it is by far the minority, maybe due to new scoring?
