The Next Day Takeaways, Episode 11: UFC Vegas 55

A night filled with close fights prompts a discussion about judging and open scoring, plus a rundown of what may be next for Saturday's winners

Close fights always bring about plenty of discussion and Saturday night’s competitive main event was no different, as fans and media dove into talks of robberies, open scoring, and all number of judging-adjacent elements in the wake of Ketlen Vieira’s split decision victory over Holly Holm.

On this episode, ESK dives into the main event discussion with his thoughts on open scoring and the best way to address the ever-present concerns about close fights and judging (hint: the answer isn’t open scoring), and burns through the results to make suggestions on what should be next for victorious fighters like Vieira, Chidi Njokuani, Jailton Almeida, and Chase Hooper.

It’s 45 minutes of post-event goodness in your earholes on a Sunday morning!
