When all you can point out is that he got one takedown and clipped Kampmann twice in 15 min, I say he lost. Not to mention he needed a blood transfusion and plastic surgery after!
biggest ufc judge fail to date? ...probably not, which is just EVEN MORE SAD!
EDDIE FOR JUDGE! EDDIE FOR JUDGE! ...lets start the petition
whereas usually i'd lay the blame on the judges, i think in this fight the problem is with the scoring system itself. don't remember which promotions -- japanese, i think...? -- judge the entire fight as opposed to round by round, but in that system kampmann would've likely gotten the victory. i think there's a fair argument to be made that diego won the last two rounds, though i agree stuffing takedown after takedown should count for something.
there was a bunch of water on that towel so it was just watred down blood comeing through
Diego won second and third rounds clearly. Just because he cuts easier does not mean he lost the fight. He has 2 major cuts in his face and if you believe cuts should determine who wins a fight, why don't you go watch a knife fight. If the damage was so substantial, how come Diego was still pushing at the end of the the third round, where as Kampman gassed out in the middle of the second?
Diego tweeted this an hour ago
"Victory equals swollen face. Whatever it takes to #EarnIt"
and everybody started begging for pics. Nothing so far.

and I isolate the perspective to rounds 2 and 3 then you can begin to see how close the fight actually was. And remember, the 10 point must system scores each round almost as a separate fight rather than the whole fight as a whole.
Diego was slaughtered in round one but came back to tighten it up in 2 and seems to have won round 3.
