They said what?! Pros react to Derrick Lewis split decision win over Roy Nelson

Although Derrick Lewis struggled with Roy Nelson's takedowns in the second and third round, two judges believed he did enough with his striking to bring home a split decision win at UFC Fight Night 90. As close as the call was, most fighters did not agree with the result on Twitter.

No bell or judges needed for this one. I fear the worst for #BigCountry

How did you have Nelson/Lewis scored? I'm ok with the decision. Damage outweighs takedowns but that's just my opinion
