Benavides got round 1/3, creepy got round 2. Good judging IMO. Both put on a hell of a fight, always a creepy fan

I wasn't hating on Benevidez, I think he did enough to win the fight. He landed more strikes and stunned UC a few times. At the same time, I wouldn't be mad if the judges had ruled it the other way. McCall had takedowns, better striking percentage, and didn't take much damage. It wouldn't be the worst decision the judges have made. I root for fighters I'm a fan of, it's what people do.

tatooedMillionaire - why does he smile every time he gets out struck in each exchangeI doubt he is doing it on purpose, its just a reaction to getting rocked, like a nervous twitch. He was focused, he was simply bested tonight.

Feeling bad for the Creep, but Joe did enough to get that final round for the win. |

I had it 29-28 for Creepy, but I can see scoring it 29-28 Benavidez.
Still should have had a point deducted for FOUR groin strikes in the first round, which would have made it a draw (or a 29-27 win in my scoring). Kinda hard to keep fighting after being hit low four times by someone as strong as Benavidez that early in the fight. |

UGCTT_Pariah -Four low blows in one round should cause at least a point deduction.

What's the finish rate for the Feather and Bantam divisions? Seems like more go to decisions than then the other divisions. Probably just a "seems like".

Creepy is like Dodson. They both play too much and when a fight is close that hurts you. Wish both guys would quit laughing and having fun and just spend 15mins focused on kicking ass.

I got a feeling Reem is going to get caught. I hope I'm wrong though.

raf_269 - True. But all of the top for guys (Johnson, McCall, Benavidez, and Dodson) would be top contenders at 135 as well. So it gives the division a sort of a pass imo. They'll bring in more guys but I feel like they'll just be guppies for the big fish to swallow. |

tatooedMillionaire - why does he smile every time he gets out struck in each exchangeI think it's a mental thing. When I get punched I do the same thing. It's like saying "that's all you got". Messes with opponents head

I am of the opinion that a point should have been deducted as well. Four groin shots... after the second warning he should have had a point deducted. If that were a five-rounder, we'd likely have fight of the night right here. This fight was awesome, I just really felt that, with the nutshots- a point should have been deducted... then this fight would have been a draw, as it was IMO. Would love to see them go at it again, five rounds, main event of a UFC on FX/FUEL. Would be great- Ian is always impressive and constantly improving, Bene and this is the type of fight to pull more fans into the sport.
