Wow, what a terrible decision. Bader was winning by a bit a lot, but these fights are supposed to be scored Pride-Style, where the guy who does the most damage, or comes the closes to finishing the fight, gets the decision, regardless of round control. Igor was that guy, absolutely shredding Bader in the 5th round. Not only did he come closer to finishing bader, but he did huge damage in that time, and turned the tables from a slightly Bader winning damage output, to a clearly Igor winning output total. Weak and unfortunate, and one more round, Igor would have finished ‘er.

Wow, what a terrible decision. Bader was winning by a bit a lot, but these fights are supposed to be scored Pride-Style, where the guy who does the most damage, or comes the closes to finishing the fight, gets the decision, regardless of round control. Igor was that guy, absolutely shredding Bader in the 5th round. Not only did he come closer to finishing bader, but he did huge damage in that time, and turned the tables from a slightly Bader winning damage output, to a clearly Igor winning output total. Weak and unfortunate, and one more round, Igor would have finished ‘er.
