Onama was hitting those reversals!

[@cavemanyogi150]

yeah man idk it really rubs me wrong when they give bad decisions or close ones to the guy that missed weight.

[@SlitherCon]

It's not judged on who missed weight it's judged on who won each round... 🤦‍♂️

[@cavemanyogi150]

@@SlitherCon Yeah, losing 2 rounds and missing weight is a bad look for the sport agreed.

[@SlitherCon]

@@cavemanyogi150 he didn't lose 2 rounds you're obviously bias because he missed weight though so I'm not going back and forth any further

This kid won me some money, he was a underdog for no reason.

[@suranpack6285]

I hate to say it, it was an amazing fights, one of my favorites of recent years, but the better man didn’t win.

[@mikemichaels2914]

Weight miss?

[@suranpack6285]

@@mikemichaels2914 just the fight itself. Both guys looked very good but JSP was just better, weight miss or not. He out landed Onama, and out wrestled him. I was very impressed with Onama’s BJJ defense and I believe JSP would’ve had an easy night if he would’ve just postured up and throw em down, why he didn’t idk. Regardless it was a damn good fight, but I thought it was 2-1 for JSP
