UFC: Catch all the action as Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa go head to head in the middleweight division at UFC 302.
bizarrely scored the co-main event of UFC 302After five rounds of outstriking his opponent, America n former champion Sean Strickland thought he had done more than enough to win decisively – and almost everyone who watched the fight agreed.
But as the voice of the UFC, Bruce Buffer, began to read out the judges scorecards, Strickland was left utterly stunned and raised his hands in frustration.UFC 303: MCGREGOR VS CHANDLER | SUN 30 JUNE 12PM AEST | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.Luckily, the other two judges gave it 49-46 and 50-45 to Strickland, rewarding his dominant performance.
But speaking in his post-fight press conference, Dana White was gobsmacked at the rogue judge’s decision – and he didn’t hold back on the judge.“That guy should never ref a big fight again! They should kick him back to the minor leagues and let him work on his judging. It’s unbelievable.”White questioned the sanity of anyone who watched the co-main event and scored the fight in favour of Paulo Costa.
“I mean, how anybody who isn’t an absolute f***ing lunatic could call that fight a split decision. I don’t even know what to say about that, it’s insane.” With Strickland and Costa both mainstays at the top of the middleweight division, the decision could have an immense impact on the title picture at 185 pounds.“It doesn’t seem like two people should be judging the same fight that different.”
