Wasn't Usman supposed to fight Belal? Was that never confirmed or is cancelling one main event to prop up 294 not enough for the morons running the UFC?
That KO was the result of Blaydes shooting a takedown with no setup (in a fight he was easily winning at range), not some great display of timing by Lewis
You're conflating two issues: incompetent/corrupt judges and the scoring system not accurately reflecting what happened in the fight. Judging the fight as a whole would make the first issue much worse. Using more than 2 points to judge a round would be much better than just throwing out the...

I really wish they'd give Almeida someone like Tybura or Romanov instead. We need to find out if he can beat a heavyweight with some wrestling skill before he runs all the way up the rankings.
Relying on wrestling would be a terrible idea. Alex is stronger and it's not like Adesanya will have a significant technical edge. Opportunistic takedowns are fine, but forcing the issue will just make him gass. He showed he can hurt Alex and would be better served trying to finish the fight...
Not if he can't make 170 anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a Till like dropoff at 185. Both heavily relied on their size at 170 and grapplers in general don't do that well when moving up.
Every single media outlet on mmadecisions.com scored the fight for Yan. Every other robbery I can think of had a couple outlets agreeing with the judges.
