Going by the reactions in my inbox and on my Twitter timeline after Saturday’s UFC 150 main event, MMA fans know of only two kinds of judges’ decisions: obvious ones, and outright robberies.
There’s some middle ground perhaps, but not much. Definitely not enough to tolerate Frankie Edgar’s narrow split-decision loss to UFC lightweight champ Benson Henderson without much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Maybe it’s the cynic in me grimacing at the outside world, but after watching five very close rounds at UFC 150, I was ready for just about any result.
