Tito is right that Hamill won,but we all knew that. Well, those of us who know MMA anyway.
Interesting point about the betting aspect. Probably another form of pressure but on major sporting events to not reverse decisions. Although the call was not pleased by many, you can't change it. If they change one then it would open a floodgate of other fights to be re-examined. It sucks, but EVERY fighter and fan knows that if you let the fight go to the judges there is always a chance that what may look like a clear cut victory will not always play out like that.
