Good show.

I'm more curious about what the heck this was though...

Official scores: 30-27, 27-30 and 29-28 for Takeya Mizugaki, winner by split decision.

As for the person who said it will be Diego/Shields. Thats not likely at all. Diego would be coming off a win and Jake would be coming off a loss. The UFC rarely makes fights like that. If Shields wins the belt it will probably be an immediate GSP rematch.

I think he more meant a Diego/Shields match being built up for a vacant title if GSP wins and moves up for the Silva fight and then a run at MW.

And Diego, apparently, landed 14 of 17 "power punches" in the 3rd round, which probably helped a bit in that round scoring.

Re: UFC on Versus 3 - March 3rd

This decision is terrible yet at the exact same time understandable.

Diego appears to be "busy" winging all of those punches.. except those punches hit nothing but air 90% of the time. He essentially took the Leonard Garcia route to victory, which is take a ton of punishment and keep going forward.

Even though I feel that Kampmann won 29-28, I already knew that Diego was winning 29-28 despite Diego's right eye being closed shut and his left eye being close to shut as well. It's not terribly inconceivable to think that Diego won the 2nd round and with Diego "appearing" to be busy as hell.. well, there you have it. I'm sorry Hitman. You deserve better.

MORE DAMAGE WAS DONE BY MARTIN -

But the fight isnt judged as a whole, its judged by round. Kampmann did all his damage in round 1, Diego was the aggressor for the majority of round 2 and 3. A 10-8 round is like round 3 between Fitch/Penn when Penn did absolutely nothing the entire round, round 1 tonight wasnt that lopsided so it didnt deserve a 10-8. Im not saying this was a lop sided win for Diego, Im only saying that I can see why either guy could have won that fight.

That will be Penn/Fitch 2. I seriously doubt that the UFC would give Shields a second title shot in a row if he loses to GSP.

Yeah, thats some crazy scoring. How the hell does one judge see it 30-27 one way and another sees it 30-27 the other?

Very true.

And Diego is on his way to the hospital. Has to be the most beaten-up winner in UFC history.

That's what pisses me off the most. I knew going into that decision that Diego would win because judges love giving fighters points for winging wild 5-7 flurries at the air after getting punched square in the face.

Maybe Diego can go down to 155 and Leonard Garcia can move up so they can fight and decimate the air that is between them.

Still think Matt Hamill has that one.

it's as if Martin is penalized for throwing crisp straight shots instead of winging his punches. I completely diagree with all the damage being done in round one...in the third round the striaght he damaged his hand on really hurt diego and REALLY effed up his left cheek. Every round Sanchez looked worse and worse and was constantly being hit hard...even in the flurry that rocked kampmann, he landed shots of his own one really hard left hook in particular.

Even if you want to give diego extra points for wide flashy punches, the sheer number he was outlanded has to give martin an edge...as someone pointed out kampmann outlanded him not just by a few shots, but nearly tripled the landed number. I would love to see the overall thrown/landed. And don't forget those knees landed throughout.

If I had to guess martin outlanded 3-1 at least over the whole fight

Kampmann didn't outland Diego 3-1. 97-45 though he did outland Diego.

Kampmann had 50 power shots to Diego's 39 power shots.

Diego was 1-15 on takedowns too.

Agreed though. Kampmann "lost" tonight because he wasn't running forward hitting air. He was technically countering Diego all day but the judges don't realize it. Once again, I'm sorry Hitman. You deserve better.

I'm on a horrible MMA gambling losing streak but I have a Sanchez, Munoz, and Weidman parlay. Don't copy my parlay unless you want to lose money, lol.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!

I was surpised at how the crowd reacted. I had the fight 29-28 for Sanchez. Hitman won Round 1 but Sanchez won Rounds 2 and 3. Sanchez was clearly pushing the pace in the fight. Kampmann has nobody to blame but himself. When it's a close fight and you know there's 10 seconds left in the round, you should just "go for it" like Sanchez. Just like in the Shields fight, he wasn't aggressive enough.

I looked at the stats at FightMetric and they give the nod to Kampmann. This is just like Teixeria having a negative 2010 UZR over at fangraphs. In both cases, I trust my own eyes more than the stats.

Either way it was a slugfest and it was good to hear White upped the bonus moneyto $60,000 each. This was the 2nd best fight in the UFC this year behind Edgar/Maynard.

I want to see Sanchez fight Condit next.

All 3 Versus cards have been really good.

On a unrelated note, lol at the fact the arena is called the "KFC Yum! Center".

Once again, MMA judging is atrocious.

Twice now that Kampmann got screwed(in my eyes)
