last night's officiating sucked (RIZIN)

[manboy<3]

What the hell? Worst perfomance by officials in long time

1) Kizaemon Saiga was clean KO'd and fell like deadwood but the ref who was watching closely did not stop it. instead his opponent woke him up with punches

2) With Seconds left on the clock and in an even contest, Karl Albrektsson gets rocked by Jiri and shoots for a desperate double leg, everything looks normal until the ref stops the fight. Karl Albrektsson is fully conscious and doesn't have any problems walking to corner. The earliest stoppage I've seen in a long time. Karl is know for his comeback wins and for his 2nd wind in the 3rd round. He was fully conscious and on his feet with seconds left !!

3) King Reina did 3 times more damage in the standup to her opponent Cindy and also had a very good submission attempt with some takedowns. Her opponent Cindy had control for like 4 minutes of the fight and a few takedowns and that was basically it. How did Cindy get the win?

4) in the Otsuka vs Taha fight a RIZIN official uses the "end of round bell" sound to signal that there are 10 seconds remaining in the fight instead of the "10 seconds remaining" sound. So Otsuka gives up his dominant position thinking it's the end of the round when in fact there are 10 seconds left

5) Baataryn Azjavkhlan does an MVP inspired dance for 15 minutes. No yellow card is given. This fight was almost like getting hypnotized into sleep.

6) The referees could not control Kape in his fight with McCal. At the start of the fight Kape did not follow the instructions to go to his corner and just stayed in the middle of the ring taunting his opponent. So they had to start the fight with him in the middle because apparently RIZIN refs are too afraid of this guy and he just does what he wants

7) The ref stood up Kape-McCal while Kape had a submission half locked in. Also the ropes are covered in a dangerous material that is dangerous to the fighters.

8) There was an after the bell punch that glanced with no yellow card or warning given

What the hell RIZIN?

Not to dive back into history but this isn't anything new for Japan.

Despite Cindy re-establishing herself as one of the worse strikers in MMA, she probably connected with about as many as Reina did, although far less damaging. I think Rizin is like One in their scoring; it's cumulative not by round. Cindy was far more dominant in round 1 than Reina was in rounds 2 & 3. I thought round 3 could actually go either way as could the fight. Given that it was in Japan, I assumed the decision would go to Reina but if it was in Belgium, I would've expected to go to Cindy.

#2 early stoppage biggest disappointment for me;(

A few others but part of the Rizen experience.
