Did you feel the decision for Sherk vs Dunham was controversial ?

That's from the first round, Sooners. The one from the second round was a small one on the outside of the other eye.

I watched the fight and clearly saw the better fighter and scored him for the win. The judges decide who wins the fight by decision in fact only but as in some cases not reality. Sherk knew and still knows he lost the fight. Another joke decision setback for the sport.

Another night of fights and another thread devoted to the possibility or guarantee of inept judging... Not original. The fighters know you're playing with fire by not finishing. The second round was close enough that a case can be made for either fighter. I have no issue with the decision. I leaned towards Dunham, but can't complain... It's far from a Machida-Shogun or Bisping-Hamill type situation.

Dunham won 29-28 (2nd and 3rd)
Bader won 29-28 (1st and 2nd)
Melvin won 29-28 (1st and 2nd)

This was an UFC event not DREAM...silly.

What is funny is I don't even have the biggest problem with the Dunham decision. It's the rest of the cards crappy outcomes I am worried about.


Worst single night of robberies and decisions in UFC history.

Look at it this way, at least Bones won't embarrass Lil Nog now.

I had it as a win for Rogerio, but the fight was close and uneventful. Was not surprised by Bader getting the Decision based on the Judging from the Dunham fight. I was the only one in the house who had it 29-28 Rogerio, the others all thought it was 29-28 Bader.

Ridiculous. Nog did all the damage in that fight. Bader landed two significant strikes.

Bad judging might be evolving peoples perspective on who better fighters are I think.

The judges were hell bent on not allowing Lil Nog to win two straight questionable decisions over inferior competition. It will either wake him up to actually get back to finishing guys, or he will go the way of his brother and just look like a shell of a Nog...

I was impressed with Lil Nog's ability to stuff the majority of Bader's take downs.

The Nog's always have top wrestling for Brazilians.

Nearly all of his finishes came after the Soko loss and the fall of Pride.

"Dunham won that fight," White said. "The judges give to Sherk. People then ask themselves, 'What the f--- was that? It makes people angry. It p---ed me off."

It was nice to see during that stretch, you have to admit...

Judges aren't allowing a fighters name to sway them these days... Incompetence is incompetence. It amazes me that fighters still aren't getting the memo. MMA judges are far too inept to consistently do a competent job...

Bader's standup game did look alright. While he isn't steamrolling guys such as Nog like Bones is, Bones isn't fighting fighters such as Nog at all.

I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for most in saying that I'd take Bones over Nog or Bader at this point.

Me too, but Bader beating Bones wouldn't be as huge an upset as others might feel. Matyushenko isn't Nog.

fightmetric report say Dunham was robbed

I wouldn't be shocked if Bader beats or at least takes Bones to a competitive decision.

If Bones doesn't have cardio issues that we're unaware of Bader isn't sniffing the final bell
