Unfortunately, aside from just impressive fights, UFC 131 was known for its bad judging.
Questionable judging is becoming more of a factor in MMA these days and UFC President Dana White wasn’t shy in discussing his displeasure with Saturday’s results in certain bouts.
Darren Elkins’ unanimous-decision victory over Michihiro Omigawa – which came by scores of 29-28, 29-28 and 30-27 in the event’s first contest – prompted UFC president Dana White to pay both fighters as if they won the bout.
“Overruled,” he said when asked about the decision.
White added that the judge who gave Elkins a 30-27 score should never be allowed to judge again.
Well, according to MMAJunkie.com, the Vancouver Athletic Commission has stepped out to defend itself.
