Just days removed from UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch, everyone continues to give their opinion on the judges decision for the main event. Everyone from UFC president Dana White, to Jon Fitch himself, have all expressed their views on the judges score cards. But what about one of the men calling the fight, who was also seated closest to the action? On his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience”, Joe Rogan shared his thoughts on who he thought won the fight.

“A draw could be expected, it depends on how you score the 3rd round. The 3rd round was a pretty decisive victory for Fitch. Some people thought it was a 10-8 round. It depends on how you use 10-8 rounds because the 10-8 round, the system that they use now I think it’s like they don’t give out enough 10-8 rounds, but you have to decide when is it a 10-8 round. When you’re inside a guys guard and you just punch him to the body and the head, I’m not sure if that’s a 10-8 round. I can see it argued, but BJ I thought won the first 2 rounds, but those were very close too, so I can it argued that Fitch did too, or well that Fitch won one of them. BJ took him down, got his back, but then he lost position and Fitch got on top of him. So the question is “what’s worth more?” Is it worth more to take a guy down and to get a dominant position where you’re close to finishing a fight, but then losing it and getting reversed and wind up in your guard with a guy on top of you throwing punches, is that better? Or is it better to take the guys back? What’s worth more on points? Well, it’s a subjective thing. So it’s tricky. I can see the first 2 rounds scored for BJ, and I can see someone scoring one of them for Fitch, and I can see the third round being 10-8, so I can see a draw. It’s tricky man, BJ’s a bad m***********, but he’s small for that weight class. When he’s fighting, he’s weighing 166 with his pants on and he’s fighting Fitch. But this is the thing about Fitch, he was at one point in time 200lbs and would cut down to 170, but now he’s all organic and vegan and he’s walking around at 180 which is really light for him and then dropping a little weight, but his cardio is like way better now too.”
