Dana White On Poor Judging After UFC Vegas 16: ‘They’re Going To F*ck Somebody’s Life Up’

Judging became a hot topic once again at UFC Vegas 16. Roman Dolidze appeared to have comfortably won a unanimous decision in his light heavyweight bout with John Allan on the UFC Vegas 16 main card last night.

Judging became a hot topic once again at UFC Vegas 16.

Roman Dolidze appeared to have comfortably won a unanimous decision in his light heavyweight bout with John Allan on the UFC Vegas 16 main card last night. However, it ended up being a split decision after one judge — Chris Lee — surprisingly scored the fight in favor of Allan.

It wasn’t the first time Lee was the dissenting judge which led to a split decision result either as he notably scored the recent fight between Rafael dos Anjos and Paul Felder to the latter as well despite it being a clear-cut victory for the Brazilian.

And UFC president Dana White was not impressed.

“I don’t know how that guy could score that fight that way,” White said (via MMA Fighting). “I had a 51-year-old schoolteacher from Massachusetts that I grew up with who was watching the fights. A 51-year-old woman that I went to school with in kindergarten text me tonight and go, ‘I don’t know sh*t about fights, but who judged that fight?’ I swear to god, that’s the truth. That’s how scary that is.

“Yeah, it’s not good. It’s something the commission needs to stay on top of, and they need to single out and call out people that continually make bad calls. They’re going to f*ck somebody’s life up. They really are.”

As noted by MMA Fighting, Lee is a long-serving MMA official — not a former boxing judge as stated by commentator Dominick Cruz on the broadcast. Despite that, he still got yet another clear-cut decision wrong.

Hopefully, the Nevada State Athletic Commission make sure Lee is no longer a judge or at the very least, make sure he is thoroughly evaluated going forward.

Marvin Vettori Seals Unanimous Decision Win Over Jack Hermansson In Instant Classic – UFC Vegas 16 Highlights

Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori has seized the short-notice opportunity with arguably the biggest standout performance of his career. The Kings MMA mainstay switched from an early approach — on his way to a unanimous decision win over Jack ‘The Joker’ Hermansson. The real story of the first-round came with both men hoping to find […]

The real story of the first-round came with both men hoping to find a home for counter straight shots, mostly in the pocket. Landing the most significant shot of the frame, Vettori dropped Hermansson with a left hand, and briefly threatened with a guillotine as the Swede survived the first-frame.

With an aggresive approach to the opening exchanges of the second, Hermansson attempted to score a high-crotch single-leg, with Vettori defending expertly, event sweeping the #4 ranked contender, winding up in full-guard. In a much more comfortable finish to the round, Hermansson landed a good knee in the clinch, finding a notably heavy breathing Vettori’s mid-section.

Likely stealing the third-round, Hermansson managed to let his hands go with much more success midway through this headliner, with Vettori still breathing quite heavily. Hermansson swinging somewhat wild, however.

While Vettori seemed much more composed and energetic in the fourth than in the third, it semes Hermansson may have still scored a 10-9 with his cleaner boxing. Vettori’s shots also seem to have waned in effect compared to the first round.

Blasting through the final round with the same pace as set in the prior four, Vettori and Hermansson battled to the distance, with the Italian scoring a unanimous decision win in a short-notice appearance. Following his victory, the soon to be minted top-five contender called for a pairing with recent middleweight title challenger, Paulo ‘The Eraser’ Costa.

Below, check out the highlights from Hermansson’s exciting war with Vettori.
