I don't agree with that decision. Both did lots, Weidman came on strong in the 1st and 2nd, then faded in the 3rd bad due to a stamina drop, the 4th was pretty even, Weidman came back in it, but Diaz kept dishing out the punishment too. The 5th, they were both exhausted, but it looked like overall, with the whole fight in mind, Weidman did more. (The damage stats also seemed to support this, with the damage ratio being about 19:10 for Weidman.) Good fight either way though.

I don't agree with that decision. Both did lots, Weidman came on strong in the 1st and 2nd, then faded in the 3rd bad due to a stamina drop, the 4th was pretty even, Weidman came back in it, but Diaz kept dishing out the punishment too. The 5th, they were both exhausted, but it looked like overall, with the whole fight in mind, Weidman did more. (The damage stats also seemed to support this, with the damage ratio being about 19:10 for Weidman.) Good fight either way though.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
