I feel like I’ve noticed this phenomenon where the worse the fighter does (unless they were absolutely pummeled, which usually results in a stoppage) the more they think they’ve won by decision.. I’m going to name a few of these bizarre occurrences:

1. Rose Namajunas vs Carla Esparza – It may have just been the most uneventful fight of the decade. She parried and ran most of the fight, just avoiding any confrontation, crowd was booing most of the time. Carla did her best to attack and won by decision, but Rose was all flabbergasted that she lost, like she put her whole heart and soul on the line. Practically played gaga with an invisible ball inside the octagon.

2. Deontay Wilder vs Parker – I know it’s boxing, but Wilder was all happy go lucky at the end of it and was a shit show for most of the fight. Dude lost by a heavy U-decision.

3. Colby Covington vs Leon Edwards – This could very well be CCs ego or alter ego or whatever the F you want to call it acting up, but the dude literally put on a tap dancing recital for the length of the fight until his amnesia cleared up and remembered he was an all American wrestler. At the end of the fight he threw out some wild accusations. And what’s funny is when he DID actually show up to fight against Kamaru, and props to him he did have a great fight with the Special K, he didn’t make a ton of BS excuses, he ran with it, him and K kissed and made up and moved on.

What’s the deal with fighters having a disproportionate pikachu O face moment when they play chicken in the ring for 3 or 5 rounds?
