“Sweet Caroline” is a pretty sweet walkout song, though. #UFCLiverpool

It’s crazy that someone HAS to win the RD, based on the the trend of judges. That’s as even as a RD gets. Seriously, who won that?! #UFCLiverpool

Till can land a soft jab and the crowd will yell Like it’s a knockout

Till vs Wonderboy is a testament to horrible striking. They both talk big game and confidence but non of them believe in their striking. #WeakMinded

Really close fight, no one was robbed. But the hometown crowd noise for Till influenced the scoring IMO. @ufc
— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) May 27, 2018
I had @WonderboyMMA winning that in a close fight but I'm not surprised that they gave it to Till. Chess match and hard to score but no f&$kin way he won that 49-46…. #UFCLiverpool

Fight could’ve went either way in my opinion not that big of a robbery they were to friendly for my liking in the middle of a fight 🤷🏽♂️
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) May 27, 2018
Darrell with a sweet game of paddy cake to edge out the choir boy. That should catapult him up the catchweight rankings. Fat fuck. .@darrentill2 #UFCLIVERPOOL #NerdBash2018

I don’t get this scoring shitttteee!! #UFCLiverpool
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) May 27, 2018
I thought Wonderboy won and it makes me mad that people who DON’T make weight this year are 7-1 in their fights. Something needs to change.
