This highly anticipated rematch was set to be a great last time, but due to all the circumstances around it, the hype has now been elevated.
When we look at the numbers of UFC 182, which took place on January, 3rd, 2017. We can see a overall dominance by "Bones", in which he won by unanimous decision, with all the judges scoring the card (49-46,49-46,49-46).
