Phillips comes out like a man possessed
I didnt see fight but sounds like Phillips got jobbed on a decision....
Yes and no.
He kicked the shit out of Paiva the first round and was probably unlucky not to get a stoppage. He also emptied his tank. The next 2 rounds were close... it was a draw at best... a glaring example of the issues with the 10 point system in mma...

Hard fight to score, dillashaw by volume and takedowns or Sandhagen by clean work and damage done. He never had a mark on him. Excellent battle.

Watchin it I thought it was a draw but some people are saying TJ won 1,3. Cory won 2, and the rounds 4 and 5 were real close. TJ 3-2 is probably the most common scorecard. Khabib scored it 3-2 for Cory. It was real close.

Can you get draws in UFC? Technically with a 10-8 round it’s possible but do they have an override?

It wasn't that I scored it a draw but I saw two men struggling to create momentum. Often in boxing and MMA I have an idea who will win after seeing only the first round. Sometimes it's totally wrong, and the fighter who clearly wins the first round loses the fight. But after the first couple rounds last night I had no idea who was going to win.

That is dope. He is going to get better because of this and TJ showed he is still good enough to come back and narrowly defeat a guy like Cory. On to the next one.
