Bleacher Report’s Jeffrey McKinney:
How do you know you have just witnessed a bad judge’s decision?
One sign could be when the winner of the fight is disappointed it actually went his way.
That was Darren Elkins’ reaction when he faced Michihiro Omigawa in the opening bout of UFC 131.
In the first round of the fight, Elkins and Omigawa went back and forth trading punches. Elkins got the better of Omigawa in some of the exchanges and was able to score a takedown. It was a close round that Elkins could have won.
The second and third rounds saw both fighters standing and trading once again. Omigawa was able to get the better the exchanges though, landing punches that bloodied the Indiana native.
It was a close fight, but Omigawa pushed the pace and landed more damaging punches.
Omigawa was looking to finally get his first win inside the Octagon after three prior failed tries. Instead, he gets his third straight loss thanks to poor judging.
