Damn, even Joe coming out and saying, "That was a bad decision."

UFC supposed to be on 8:30ET and there's still 5 minutes left in this worthless college basketball game. It's an 11 pt game, enough already. The end of basketball games has made me so tired of this sport. Cut to the fights already.

Yeah, get rid of them and go to the end...like the good old days.

I'm only half joking.

Let AI do the judging. Marshall was -600 after 2 rounds.

MMA judging is by far the worst in any sport.

Every single UFC card there is at least one bad decision. Often times two or three or more per card.

There is absolutely zero doubt that it’s not just “incompetence” every time either. Definitely some shady shite going on behind the scenes.

There's no doubt some of these judges are on the take. No one could have had Santos winning that fight

There was a time where incompetence or striking v grappling bias was an acceptable excuse, but this is an established sport now. They have to get better.

How does one become an MMA judge? Is there an online certification program I can take? I can't do worse.

ETA: And do they still do events in strip club parking lots?

Would it ruin the UFC if decisions could be reviewed and changed after the fight if a result is truly egregious and obviously wrong?

I'm not sure about that.

I would be fine with them removing the ability to grant a split decision. If it's not unanimous, it's a draw and maybe they go another round or not. But MMA is mixed style and not all of them are pretty, but they are effective in the end.

If a fight is so close that 3 judges can't come to a unanimous decision, call it a draw and let them run it back...

But that will piss off the bookies...

I think the perfect group of judges would be:
1. One human judge
2. One AI judge
3. Vewers live poll
