UFC 131 Results: Dana White Furious with the Judges’ Discrepancies
Bleacher Report’s Todd Seyler:
ESPN.uk has reported that UFC President Dana White left the Rogers Centre in Vancouver, Canada angry and mystified over bizarre decisions by the judges at UFC 131.
Dana White and the UFC have attempted to minimize errors by the judges sitting cage-side by installing video monitors to improve on the accuracy of the decisions.
Unfortunately, even with the use of monitors and clear vision into the Octagon, White believes that grave errors in judgment resulted in obviously blown decisions by the judges.
In the night’s first bout, Darren Elkins was awarded the win over Michihiro Omigawa, much to the chagrin of Dana White who believes Omigawa won this lightweight matchup.
To further enrage White, one of the judges even awarded Elkins all three rounds over the Japanese star.
“One of the things I want to say—because you guys always hear me, and I did again tonight, smashing the judges—is the guy that was scoring 30-27, seriously?” White said. “I don’t know what the f*** in the world that guy was seeing. He should never judge a fight again, ever.”
