split draw lul
Even Jan knew he lost that one
The UFC is an entertainment product first, competition second.Ankalaev blaming the UFC for the judges is kind of silly. Are the judges in Russia a lot more fair and less corrupt?

He has every right to speak out.
This is just stupid. The UFC has had tons of decisions happen that were awful for business
There are systemic issues in mma judging and I'll leave it at that

i mean it's not really a UFC issue. it's a government problem. The commissions are run by clowns.
What an awful comment. First of all the UFC has no control over the judging of state sanctioned events, everyone, especially the athletes know this.The UFC is an entertainment product first, competition second.

Yeah, looking at it you're right, it's not as bad as I thought too. Especially considering that if Derek Cleary gave Jan round 3, the outcome is still a draw and nothing changes.Honestly, it's not as crazy as I thought originally.
I was assuming Ankalev won R1, but it was close and all 3 judges gave it to Jan.
The most egregious card is the 1 that gave Ankalaev R3 and if that didn't happen, then Jan would have won.
I dunno. I don't really want to see it again. Ankalaev knows now how easy it would be if he used his wrestling. I think he'd do that from the opening bell next time.
Name one in the past three years. There are none.
If anything the sheer number of "robberies" outnumbers the "bad for business" ones 10 to 1.
A draw after an awful fight in a division with no champion is bad for business and it just happened.
The division was dead long before this fight. Everyone and their mother put money on Ankalaev winning this fight against an aging and over the hill Jan. They raked in serious dough by pulling this bullshit. Congratulations to them, you will all eat it up.
Was cheering for Jan, definitely going to be cheering for Jan if there is a rematch. Ankalaev came off as very whiny, he definitely had 4 and 5, but it’s not like he was dominating in 1-3
Ended in a dud but still a fun event overall. Pretty much everything up until the last two fights was good. Can’t complain too much other than about the terrible judging.
Best part was the translator at the end!
That translator definitely made it interesting
I missed all of it. Fight was bad and I thought for sure Ankalaev won so I just turned it off. I’ll watch it once the UFC uploads it.Best part was the translator at the end!
So.. Brazil needs a real main event. Can we still get Glover vs one of these guys? Or someone else?
