I still think DC won round 3 pretty damn comfortably. Judges seem to struggle with inherent bias but they also struggle with mid-fight underdog bias.

Yes, Stipe started to look way better in round 3 than he did in rounds 1 and 2. But he still clearly lost it. And I had, and won, a lot of money on him.
Money you say?

Congrats

Did no one else notice that DC came out of the gate on fire and tapered off as the fight went on culminating in his loss?
Definitely, noticed it in the 2nd when he was asking Bob Cook was he winning, almost sounded despondent. Seemed to get worse from there.

I think he thought he would drop Stipe again early, he hit him with everything he had a few times. When he didn't drop Cormier was almost in shock it seemed.

Amazing toughness from both guys though and what a win for Stipe, great adjustments through out the fight especially working the left to the body in late, to open up the finish.

Brilliant fight, was a great card all in.

Diaz Pettis was a war aswell.

Stipe took Daniel's best shots and kept coming
Was a War of Nutrition and the big man came thru and got his belt back

Diaz vs Pettis was at 170. I like that

Makes Pettiss win over Thompson and Diaz's Jorge call out make more sense

I'm slow

(Bleow showed up as an "I'm slow" gif... I'll take it)
