Gleison Tibau had his hand raised after 15 minutes of fighting Rory MacDonald in the main event of Thursday night’s PFL 5 in Atlantic City, leading to the Canadian star calling the split decision “a clear robbery.”
Even though the Brazilian veteran admits he was surprised by the fact that MacDonald was able to secure a takedown and take his back during the three-round contest, Tibau doesn’t feel the former Bellator welterweight champion had done enough to go home with the victory.
Tibau revealed he didn’t fought the way he usually does because he tore his biceps four weeks before PFL 5, and considered pulling out of the fight.
