At best should be a draw not a win for Joe, but that'll teach you not to do absolutely nothing when you take a guy down. Held didn't try to pass, submit or throw strikes on the ground.

I like Joe was shocked by that decision I though Held had 2&3 for sure.

Honestly, I think we saw the new rules in effect there, the guy on top who did jack **** kinda rightfully only got credit for a takedown and not much else. Hmmm, I mean, Joe lost, but still, maybe closer than it seems with the new scoring criteria to favor damage over control.

Time for Held to get out into the open air run around aand build up that mind ~ body connection - get loose and flowy. . I know he is a Polish sub grappling legend ( could probably make a decent pay off coaching and seminars if he felt like it etc ) but for a 25 year old etc,  Co main event big stakes - eeasy for me to say but he looked too stiff somehow .. I dunno

I'll explain it, though I disagree. 

Joe did most damage in 1 with elbows than anything else. Joe came closest to finish in 2 with armbar, and landed better strikes in 3. 

That's not what I believe how it should've been scored but it's an explanation. I don't feel bad for Held though, as he attempted to land takedowns and not attack with any of them. 

I want yellow cards!!

If I was a judge I would have scores of 29-28 Saunders and 29-28 Held.
