Twitter reacts to Junior dos Santos vs. Fabricio Werdum

A rematch 15 years in the making took place in the main event at Gamebred MMA Bareknuckle 5. Junior dos Santos vs. Fabricio Werdum headlined the card in Florida. 

In the first fight, dos Santos TKO’d Werdum in the second round, and in their bare-knuckle fight it didn’t go quite the same way. 

There was no second-round KO this time but Werdum was badly bloodied going into the third round. Unfortunately, fans looking for the knockout were disappointed when the low-energy fight went to a decision. 

OFFICIAL RESULTS: Junior dos Santos defeated Fabricio Werdum via split decision (30-27, 30-27, 28-29)

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the fight.
