I guess those people missed the first fight.
McCall was robbed.
It was an easy 29-28 scoring for Johnson the first time around.
The real crazy odds are the Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans ones. I have heard stuff in the range of 4 to 1…. All the way up to 6 to 1.
That’s insane. It’s a 2 to 1 fight. Evans is a strong underdog.

I love myself as much free speech as possible…. but the major sports leagues banning stuff like twitter is starting to look smarter by the day.
Seems like Twitter is causing more issues. They have fired 2 fighters from it. And they have had countless more issues due to other fighters making really stupid comments.
does the ufc still do those best twitter awards?
they do.
It’s like giving a gun to a 10 year old and then being shocked that he fires it….
McCall had to go out of his way not to finish Johnson in the third. Had the they gone into the fourth like they were supposed to Johnson was about done. Maybe there was a way to score the fight for Johnson due to the faults in the unified systems criteria and the ten point must system but Johnson lost that fight.
Jones?Evans is a glorified squash match.
I also had it 29-28 Mighty Mouse…DJ took rounds 1 and 2 and had McCall rocked with strikes multiple times. McCall never had Johnson dazed or nearly knocked out. Round 3 was dominant for McCall, but it wasn’t 10-8 by any means. The unified rules judging criteria is flawed, but even under the old Pride judging system (much better system IMHO), Johnson won that fight. As fans, we were robbed out of an exciting 4th round. Looking foward to this rematch!
He made him quit intelligently defending himself. He turtled up and started to just take his ass whooping. He wasn’t trying to escape or sweep. He was extremely close to being finished.
