Byrd, better known as the individual who awarded
Melvin Guillard the most bizarre and puzzling scorecard in recent memory -- a 30-27 over
Jamie Varner at
UFC 155. (For those that forgot, the remaining two judges awarded a 30-27 the opposite way, in a bout that saw Varner dominate Guillard with seven takedowns to zero.)
That scorecard wasn't exactly a fluke either. Byrd has a record of questionable rulings, which leads one to wonder, what exactly does an official need to do to fall out of favor with the NSAC? Particularly when it comes bookings of great significance, like, say, a heavily anticipated title bout featuring a man known for fighting to close decisions?
Regardless, the NSAC's decision is final. So it's probably best if we hope for a finish when both men meet in two weeks, lest we get another controversial Edgar trilogy started up.
