It was a long, interesting night in Sao Paulo.
The top two fights on Saturday’s card went to the scorecards, and only one of them ended with a winner. Co-headliners Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Paul Craig fought to a split draw, while Jan Blachowicz narrowly outpointed Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza by split decision in the main event.
Here is how the pros reacted to the UFC Sao Paulo main and co-main event:
Jan Blachowicz vs. Ronaldo Souza

CURRENTLY IN ROUND 3: Do you guys see the main event as boring or can you see the strategy ? Or do you not care , would you rather see them go for it ? #UFCSP

That is not a good case to ever challenge Jon Jones for his title

Craig looked good round 1 but man. I think Shogun got it #UFCSP
— Niko Price (@Nikohybridprice) November 17, 2019
Bad strategy but still think he won https://t.co/r7PocGMEm7

A split draw ? TF . I scored it for shogun, I half watched, but every time I looked shogun was out working his opponent... #UFCSP
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) November 17, 2019
A DRAW!!! That judge
— Sam Alvey (@smilensam) November 17, 2019
Round 3 shogun laid in guard & took little shots not doing anything. He had control though. Uneventful in all. Was rooting for Shogun. https://t.co/Q5SIXmGFTK

Na I get that but when your in there it’s like you get tunnel vision you wouldn’t know unless you fight. It’s upto the coaches to say FUCKING FINISH IT! But if they don’t? Then you’ll always go back to what you know if you get me... https://t.co/ZKgS2s9PNL
