The whole statement is a wise tale, it's just a way you can justify retaining the belt to a fighter who reasonably should have lost
In any fight, there are a lot of interested bettors.... They are often interested in their own outcomes of the fight. It all depends on the amount of money that has been bet on a particular outcome.Money how? As in judges are getting paid to rig a fight? Who are they being paid by?The UFC?
I am also interested in other sports. For example, rugby, football, soccer. In these sports, a controversial decision of a referee is reviewed by a commission. And if the commission finds that the referee's decision was wrong, the referee can lose his license. Is that not the case in the UFC? Okay, I'm not arguing.
the stats werent closeEven if you think Strickland won, using that fight as an example of bad judging is dumb. The stats were very close striking wise and then DDP had 6 takes down on top of that. It was a super close back in forth fight.
Personally I had Driscus winning but had they given it to Sean I would have understood as it was super close.
Bad judging is stuff like
Leonard Garcia Vs Nam Phan
Paddy Pimblett Vs Jared Gordon
Michael Bisping Vs Matt Hamill
Johnny Hendricks Vs GSP
This was just a case of lots of people really liking Sean Strickland and wanting him to win, and since he didn’t get dominated or finished they have a hard time accepting that he didn’t win the fight.
Yes the UFC has no direct control over the judges but they are the largest MMA organization in the world and Dana is the CEO so he obviously has a lot of pull.
So if your sports team wins by a point it's not a real win?The champion should be a man or woman that decisively, unquestionably, won a title fight.
Sean Strickland won the title decisively against Izzy. He left no doubt. It was a schooling from beginning to end.
The champion deserves the benefit of the doubt, such as Jones has gotten numerous times in his career, or GSP against Hendricks, etc.
This is extremely sad and Strickland's life will change dramatically without the belt.
So if your sports team wins by a point it's not a real win?
I'll stop trying to be smart when you stop trying to be stupid.Apples. Oranges.
Don't try too hard to be smart.
Completely different.
That's unfair to the challenger. The rules are the same for both people.
Don't you think Dricus's life would be a lot different without the belt?

That sports team point is from Teddy Atlas, specifically addressing mooks making your original "argumenWood!
