Media Ariel Helwani's goes off about UFC 247 Judging

Cliffs

• Fight night he thought Reyes won
• Rewatched it, 2nd time around even more certain Reyes won
• Judge Joe Solis is incompetent or corrupt
• 4-1 Jones, 30-27 Ewell, 10-9 Giles in round 1 are all completely absurd scores
• Lol @ people judging fights a split decision
• Octagon control is irrelevant in this fight (judging criteria)
• Fuck you if you repeat the phrase "to be the Champ you gotta beat the Champ"

I'm paraphrasing but you guys get it.

 

He's right.

 

Fuck Ariel Helwani-Dana fucking white

 

This man told Brian Ortega he had beautiful eyes and he'd get lost in them sometimes

Plus, he's gone full retard on a number of occasions.

 

Wow I clicked on this thread ready to disagree with him but I agree with everything he said there

 

Next scrum:
"I dont really like you ariel, so im not answering your question"

Spoiler

 

I'm glad it bothers him so much lol I know it's petty but it's even funnier

 

Basically this. In the history of the sport I have seen this isnt even top 50 contraversial decision. Cry about it. and still

 

MMA judging needs a complete overhaul.
I really do believe ex fighters being judges is the right thing to do.

There have been fights where one judge will have it 30-27 for fighter A, and another judge has it 30-27 for fighter B.

How is this possible?
Bad scorecards aren't even shocking anymore.

 

If he's gonna reiterate that Jones 4-1 is absurd, then he either needs to shit on his own opinion that the 3rd was close, or his buddy Brett Okamoto's opinion that the 2nd was close. Especially since he's giving people shit for saying "that shoulda been a split decision".

Truth is, both rounds 2 and 3 were close (as was round 4), and thus 49-46 is hardly absurd, for either Jones or Reyes.

 

at first all the crying about this was kind of funny. After like an hour of reading and hearing about it, it became a little too much. Like, you're embarrassing yourselves, have some dignity. But now it's circled around and is funny again, like that Family Guy joke where Peter hurts his knee and just sits there on the sidewalk going "aaaaaaaaaaah" for like 8 minutes in a row

 

Woah one of the judges gave Giles round one?

 

Well played. It's the hot topic though. Everyone wants a piece of the action. Let the media eat lol

 

That hairline tho

 

“Hey Ariel, you mad?”

 

One of the rare times Crying Boy is correct and I agree with him

 

Yet he's still right here

 

What schmegegge is he talking about now?

 

The pic of him swimming looks like Jim from American Pie.
