The technique that Rogan was criticizing Duke for and rally behind Phillips in his call was the exact technique Duke used to break Phillips
If the fight went another round or even 30 seconds there is zero doubt that Duke would have finished Phillips very easily... Phillips had no fight and I'm not sure if she even threw 5 strikes in the 3rd (I assumed she did but it appeared that one sided)
Just a case where rounds 1 and 2 decide the winner of the fight and the 3rd round showed who the better fighter was and who won the fight... but scroecard wise tells a different story. Judges are not wrong as I would have no issues how any judge would score that fight
Phillips couldn't even do a proper post fight interview or even cheer a victory because she was so defeated (drain dead)
Being Duke's 3rd loss in a row now there's a good chance that Duke can be cut loose by the UFC
