You actually didn't win. You faded towards the end of fight and lost the championship rounds.

Díaz won this fight

[Cheezebuster]

If he really wanted to win he would have went out and taken those last two rounds. He wasn't fighting the second half of the fight and it cost him.

7 to 5 Diaz Won

Crazy thing is all three judges scored the last two rounds to Rakhimov.

Round 5 was the only round where the fight was scored different on the cards. Everything else was agreed upon

Really? WTF? Maybe I remember it wrong but I thought Diaz was really taking it to Rakhimov those last two rounds.

Maybe Diaz will actually make weight for the (likely) rematch. Who knows what effect cutting those last couple of of pounds might have.

Diaz won 8-4. It wasn't that close. Most 130s are on TR side. Love to see Diaz give Chris Colbert a shot.

Yup that's what happens when you can't sniff smelling salts mid fight and can't have a nice cocktail of chemicals in your hotel room anymore.
