Most controversial decisions?

No one talks about it, but I still have no idea how Phil Davis beat Lyoto Machida. It was a Unanimous Decision too.

I thought it was a clear cut win for Lyoto
 
Bisping Hendo 2 was a fucking travesty
 
Valentina Shevchenko x Amanda Nunes 2

One of the worst robberies I've ever seen in my life.
 
Not UFC, but the least discussed bad decision I’ve seen has to be KJ Noons vs. Ryan Couture.
 
I really thought Stephen Thompson won the Woodley rematch. Scoring it seemed pretty clear as well since there was so little action and so little to interpret. A draw for said inactivity is the most I could see.
 
Ninja vs Hendo and Ninja vs Rampage immediately came to mind...

Came to post the exact same 2. Rampage even gave up his trophy.

Hendo wasn't named "Decision" Dan because it was catchy

Meh, it was a staring contest

Agreed
They wanted Couture on UFC so badly that they gave him the decision
 
Leonard garcia was robbed against max holloway.
Everyone should see that fight.

Hendo and Bendo.

D. Henderson - Won 6 of 7 split decisions from 1998-2009
B. Henderson - Won 4 of 4 split decisions from 2012-2015

Both ended up losing back to back splits a few years after.
 
Not the most controversial ever but I think Marquardt beat Belfort and Cerrone beat Lawler
 
How do you guys differ a controversial decision from a robbery.

To me, a controversial one could be argued either way, and a robbery is a clearly wrong decision.
 
Brunson clearly beat Anderson,

The thing about this one is that literally no one gave a shit who won
 
Michael Johnson vs Beniel Dariush, man oh man everyone at my house burst out laughing at that decision
