It sounds like people are pretty divided in who should have won this fight. I've only been able to watch the first round so I don't really have an opinion on it yet. Who should have won? It sounded like Johnson had better octagon control but Torres was more threatening with subs.
i think torres should have won
he got more sweeps in the first and 2nd round
i dont remember the 3rd though
i dont know who won in the standup
and mighty obvi got takedowns
i wanted to see a controversial draw
See that's the way it looks from the play by play. But mma judges seems to think being on top means winning
yo watch the full fight, unfortunately sweeps & sub attempts don't count for shit with dumb ass u.s. mma judges. this was a grappling match for the most part, miguel dominated the 1st with sweeps & mount & brilliant control & passing, i'd give mouse the 2nd only because he didn't get tapped from miguel's guard & possible invert triangle, mouse only survived, 3rd miguel hit some beutifull sweeps including a nice hip bump, to mount, all his sweeps, hip bumps butterflies, leg attacks from invert sweeps, traingles didn't count for shit this would have been a blow out if mma judges actually understood no gi grappling & applied those rules in mma ground battles , this was brilliant and painful at the same time, to watch miguel put on such a clinic & know he'll still lose with no sub
this ^
Torres won in my books
I am a big fan of Torres and I remember thinking, when the fight ended, that he lost. It seemed like he was not interested in striking. He did have some sweet sweeps, but that was about it.
The fans won, best fight of the night.

Torres showedsome phenomonal jiu jitsu it was truly beautiful to watch... but unfortunatly the judges prefer those who lay on top... REAL mma judges would have given it to Torres - real as in those who score the sport on ALL it's credentials.... my fight of the night was Mir's destruction of Nelson
Torres won that fight IMO
