As what happens every time a close fight goes to decision, a lot of people are whining on behalf of Mighty Mouse saying he was robbed by the judges. I can see that fight going either way. It was pretty clearly a 2-2 fight heading into the 5th, and I thought the 5th round was extremely close. I can see either fighter getting the nod there. It certainly was not an unfair decision.
I had it 2, 4, and 5 Cejudo. I think DJ deserves an immediate rematch though. Fuck cejudo for calling out TJ. Defend your belt a few times you asshole.
It is the new thing, every time someone wins a title they immediately call someone out from a different weight class. Outside of Bobby Knuckles no one seems interested in defending their belts a couple of times and then calling someone out from another division.
