A weird one. Johnson definitely did more damage, after a strong second round, with lots of good stuff done in the first and third. But Faber controlled more of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. And it looks like our judges are still judging by round, rather than overall. So DJ's strong 2 rounds vs. Faber's pretty good 3 rounds balanced out to 3-2. We'll talk to them again and remind them to score the entire fight, like Pride, not round-by-round, like UFC. Silly judges. Decent enough fight though. If you like that sort of thing.
Demetrious Johnson looks like he has been waiting for this fight forever.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage
A pretty fair match today. I can't say who will be the one who will be raising his fist after the match.
The referee of the bout is Mario Yamasaki.

A weird one. Johnson definitely did more damage, after a strong second round, with lots of good stuff done in the first and third. But Faber controlled more of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. And it looks like our judges are still judging by round, rather than overall. So DJ's strong 2 rounds vs. Faber's pretty good 3 rounds balanced out to 3-2. We'll talk to them again and remind them to score the entire fight, like Pride, not round-by-round, like UFC. Silly judges. Decent enough fight though. If you like that sort of thing.
