There isn't any controversy.The round ended with Conor in the fetal position taking shots as Poirier reigned over him. Herb looking closely to stop it.
How on earth is that anything but a 10-8?
The fight was seconds away from being called off....
not that it matters, I just found some people’s insistence on a 10-9 rather strange.
Judges had it 10-8....Once again Conor haters showing they're retarded anything Conor related. Thank God ur not a judge. Ur embarrassing as a fan as it is
Poirier clearly got the better with GnP, but Conor clearly had put in work on fighting off his back, and did score from the bottom with elbows and upkicks and did a decent job limiting the shots he got hit with, so not 10-8.Simple question. The official Sherdog scorers did not hand in their tallies because the fight was over as soon as we saw McGregor's ankle give way. As the official Sherdog Play-by-Play guy, I would have scored the round 10-8 to Poirier, and I'm not sure how my two editor colleagues scored it in our panel.
Of the three cageside judges, Derek Cleary and Junichiro Kamijo scored R1 10-8 for Poirier, and Sal D'Amato scored R1 10-9 for Poirier.

What say you? Was the first round of Poirier-McGregor 3 a 10-8 round?
