Aljamain Sterling questions scoring of UFC London headliner
"Just rewatched the first 3 rounds again. We're all confused on how scoring works in this sport. It's still seems more subjective than criteria based. RD1: very close but more activity from Murphy. RD2: close still but Murphy ahead on strikes. RD3: really tight until the last 25 sec where Movsar opens a cut on Murphy. Does that steal the RD?? RD 4&5: Clear for Movsar. Point deduction. This fight is a draw, if RD3 is scored for Movsar."
"Lmaoo bruuuh!!!!! I'm telling you! Somehow I'm the hater to some of these keyboard warriors... One thing about me is I'm always fair and speak the truth. The moment I dont, plz call me out on it."
Aljamain Sterling disagrees with the judges' scorecards from the UFC London main event between Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy. Evloev won by majority decision despite a point deduction. Sterling argues that the fight should have been scored a draw, citing confusion over the scoring criteria. He believes Murphy was more active in the first round and ahead on strikes in the second. Sterling rewatched the fight and concluded that if Round 3 is scored for Evloev, the fight remains a draw.
