DECISION

Rampage and his trainers clearly think Sene did more damage and won. They tell him to raise his arms. Sounding almost like he’s trying to convince himself Rampage tells Sene,

“You got this one!”

Dana White is not won over by either fighter,

“Niether guy looked overly impressive, It’s not like either one of the guys was making me say, ‘Thank god, we got these two in the UFC”

The winner is announced, Dante Rivera wins by Decision.

Sene is distraught,

“I needed to win that dude”

Dante is happy and Forrest thinks it was a good decision, because Dante controlled the action.

Dana disgrees. He thinks that Sene did the most damage, and says that the one universal criteria all judges should go by is who doled out the most damage. He thinks Sene did that.
