Sad stuff to see, this isn't on Pantoja though, let him be. This is on the judges still refusing to use the scoring system that is on paper in front of them at every event. Change Erceg to Adesanya and Pantoja to any other middleweight. Adesanya wins that fight 100/100 times. They don't care about who won, if it is close they will just give it to whoever they think is best for the company, I will use that understanding in future predictions.

Anyone who thinks that MMA judging isn’t totally corrupt is a moron at this point. It’s not incompetence, , it’s not a random mistake, it’s criminal! It’s why the judges never have to explain themselves and why they keep scoring system as vague as they can.

[@shinobi5008]

You are only mad because you chose Erceg. Saying this is one of the biggest robberies of all time is hilarious coming from you. Pantoja won round 1,3,5 and that is that, Erceg showed low fight IQ by trying to take down Pantoja and paid the price.

Pantoja has to be the Sloppiest fighter, the sloppiest champion in the entire UFC. He gasses out in the 2nd round. Did zero damage, got cut multiple times, rocked hard thru out the fight, covered in his blood. Almost was puking in between rounds. How can they say Pantoja won & is champ level quality? His fighting style is the sloppiest shit I've ever seen and I'm so fed up with hearing people glaze his "skills"

Yeah I really don’t get people defending him. Ever since he became a champ the gas tank is nonexistent, he lays and prays after he gets tired or outstruck, and is given the win over nut hugging, it’s pathetic. He’s had dope moments on his way to the belt but my god man the dick sucking I see from people is insanity.

Bro if you look on the UFC website it says damage>all. It doesn’t matter how long pantoja layed on him or how many takedowns he got, he didn’t hurt Erceg at all erceg got a cut from a head clash, while pantoja was visibly hurt after that elbow lead hook combo and erceg was landing the better shots.

[@nickt1275]

How can you give round 5 to Erceg? Pantoja was on top of him for most of the round.

[@mylesgibson169]

Dominance in the grappling phase can be seen by fighters taking dominant positions in the fight and utilizing those positions to attempt fight ending submissions or attacks. Merely holding a dominant position(s) shall not be a primary factor in assessing dominance. What the fighter does with those positions is what must be assessed.
