So, it was reported that Israel was able to select his own judge to his liking as he removed Chris Lee I think it was, which was pretty fucked up that he was given that privilege that no one else does.
And it is obviously well known that Marc Goddard is an incompetent ref. I'm not sure how he keeps getting main event, but he did.
The commentary seemed like they had their entire house and retirement savings on Israel, and I'm sure Izzy is Dana's golden boy at MW right now as well, and I'm sure they thought Jan was an easy fight to make him a double champ too.
It seemed like 5 seconds in after they clinch, or AFTER the takedown, Marc Goddard was on Vettori urging for more action. There was a point in the fight where Vettori got on top of Izzy, and 10 seconds or so later, Rogan was talking about the possibility that they can get stood up even on top of half guard, which is pretty fucked up. I mean they can, but really talk about it almost immediately after the TD IN half guard?
As said before, I think we can probably agree Marc Goddard is a terrible ref. But it is what it is, you know. You are terrible at your job, but judges are sometimes too, or a lot of times, and good for Marc that he gets to keep his job. I mean, I can't blame no body for being able to keep his job though you might be god awful at it. And he is.
But it seems pretty ridiculous when a terrible ref becomes pretty biased for one fighter, in a fight where that said fighter got to pick his own judge, where a just as biased commentary team is talking about stand ups 10 seconds after a TD.
At the end of the day, I think Vettori prob would have lost either way. But I definitely think Vettori rushed his submission off the half guard as Marc Goddard was urging him for more action like 10 seconds after while Rogan is talking about stand up near by.
