This was an insult of a PPV. Final card of the year.

December cards used to be epic. I get it that this year is tough because Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve both fall on a Saturday. So they had to do the final card earlier than normal. But this was shite. Wow.

Y'all are up in arms but I'm looking at these cards individually and none of the single scores look that crazy

Dana is going to hwve a hell of spin tonight in his presser.

Also, isn't Sal D'Amato a boxing judge?? Do they really not have mma specific judges in Nevada?

Score cards make no sense. All the judges had r1 to Jan, but one went with the 3rd to Ankalaev

Not sure 10-8 makes sense either. He won those rounds, but it wasn’t pulverizing

and a draw? FU dana hiring these clowns as judges.


I thought state athletic commissions appointed/supplied judges. I think the fight promotions are at the mercy of the athletic commissions, aka government bureaucrats.

Biggest bullshite ever. I’m at T Mobile, what the frick. Jan basically said Mag deserved the belt. Between that and Paddy wtf did I just watch? That’s some WWE bs. Ank basically said i’m not sure if I fight again for UFC.


the UFC clearly rigged the decision for "Paddy the Baddy" ... there is absolutely no doubt about it.

Jan basically didn't thro a strike at all in Rd 5. It wasnt a total pummeling, but it could have easily been 10-8. He basically was on his back the whole time.

Problem is bc the last 2 rounds were so dominant everyone remembers that. Round 2 was easy for Jan. I would have given magomed rd 1. And probably jan 3. But it isn’t crazy that the first 3 went to jan

What ufc always had going for it was that it was "clean" vs boxing.

The last year has totally changed that perception of UFC judging now.

TBH, the only crazy thing was the one judge giving Ankalaev the 3rd, and maybe the 10-8 in the 5th. Those are really the only 2 screwups. And either of those scores correctly gives the belt to Jan. Strange fight and scoring.

Also, Rogan sounded dumb in the interviews.

Who did they rig it for in this fight?
The chips fell where they fell. If they were trying to rig it for Jan why the hell would they have that one judge give Ankalaev a 10-8 Rd in 5.

Weird card all around. I think one problem is the ufc has been loading up the free cards more than they should at the detriment of vegas cards. That wonderboy card was better from top to bottom than this one. They did have some bullshite that changed this card up but regardless.

Must have had Jan winning 1-3 and maybe a 10-8 round in there? No clue.


Round by round stats

Round 1

Ank 19, Jan 14 tot strikes
Ank 19, Jan 14 sig strikes
0 TD

Round 2
Ank 23, Jan 23 total strikes
Ank 13, Jan 23 sig strikes
0 TD

Round 3
Ank 40, Jan 18 total
Ank 18, 17 sig
Ank 1 TD, Jan 0

Round 4
Ank 55, Jan 11 total
Ank 10, Jan 1 sig
Ank 1 TD, Jan 0

Round 5
Ank 54, Jan 13 total
Ank 18, Jan 0
0 TD

Jan winning round 1 is generous but how the heck did Jan win round 3?

because his strikes, while less in number, caused significantly more damage than anything Ankalaev did.

The live bet odds had Ankalaev -400 after round 4. He had a dominant round 5 and then gets a draw. The Odds don't like because oddsmakers have to protect themselves from bad lines.

Yeah, lot of dumb takes in this thread. The dumbest being that Dana White hired the judges, lol. The NSAC provides the judges for all fights in Nevada. Saul D’Amato has judged fights as long as I’ve been watching MMA. If you don’t know the sport, maybe don’t make big statements about it.

Also, do some of you actually think Dana White wanted to leave the belt in limbo and end the ppv year like this?? If you honestly believe that, you should just stop watching mma now because that’s a whole other level of stupid.

I just rewatched the decision. Even Jan put this right hand out palm up, pointing to Ankalaev before the last score card was announced. Ever after all that, Jan went over and to try and raise Ankalaev arm. Anklalaev deny it out of respect.
