Athletic commissions pick the judges.Dana White: "I had that fighter winning it as well"
But he never ever does anything to fix the judging.
At any stageHe knows Jones is slowing. He gets smoked at HW at this stage
Lol awesome Trumpism“Trust me, I know the best judges and these fake judges are bad, ok? My kids tell me the fix is in. Sad!”
I had it 3-2 to Reyes as well, but where you getting 4-1 from? Wasn't even close to 4-1. Jones clearly won the last 2, Reyes clearly won 1 and 3 and the rational posters on here thought did enough to win the 2nd.Reyes 3-2 , maybe 4 -1. Anyone who thinks otherwise are as bad as the shit judges
Yeah, tough won to score. I had Reyes 1&2, Jones 4&5 and 3 could go either way but I was leaning towards Reyes.
A score either way or a draw are all pretty reasonable here though so not really a robbery but I think draw would have been best probably.
At the same time though, winning the late rounds when you're tired and beat up is much harder than pouring it in early and praying you get the finish. That's the hallmark of a true Champion imo and says a lot about a mans character so I'm not really upset with the decision to be honest.
yeahDana got the result he wanted.
Too much bullshit in the UFC these days. This shit and McGregor with another title shot coming up without beating a single contender in the division ever. It's too much for me now. I think I'm done with this shit after Khabib vs Tony gives me a little closure.
Not really when his resolve and character in the cage is the only thing that matters as a professional fighter.But we already know Jon's character, it's a shit. The shitty things he's done says a lot more about his character than competing hard in a sporting endeavour
I dont put that much stock into this. Jones being able to take the later rounds doesnt mean THAT much to me. He is used to fighting 5 round fights,since the majority of his career he has been champion and prepared for those. Reyes doesnt have that kind of experience. I dont recall he was even in a main event other than the Weidman fight. Its the first time you think well wow it actually makes an experienced champion harder to beat,with a distinct advantage,unless you are going in there with tons of main event experiences under your belt. No other fight sport has this kind of set up.At the same time though, winning the late rounds when you're tired and beat up is much harder than pouring it in early and praying you get the finish.

3 round Reyes is unstoppable
Yes, ask Volkan3 round Reyes is unstoppable
I hear ya, but it is a round by round basis, and one judge had it 4-1 Jones? It doesn’t make sense to me. And Jones was talking about his takedowns but they were ineffective. I just gotta watch again. I would have been happier with a draw lolYeah, tough won to score. I had Reyes 1&2, Jones 4&5 and 3 could go either way but I was leaning towards Reyes.

Yeah the 4-1 was absurd and while the TDs didn't lead to anything he did score them and combined with his constant forward pressure they had scoring significance.I hear ya, but it is a round by round basis, and one judge had it 4-1 Jones?

He probably doesn't do anything about the judging because he can't, at all. It's weird that people still think Dana has any control over that.
The Commission assigns the Judges the refs for every fight.
Because fighters and organizations actually do have some say when it comes to potential refs, the same isn't true of Judges who are basically appointed at random from a list of credentialed names that aren't revealed until fight day.It's weird people said the same about refs, but Dana said he would never let Kim Winslow ref another UFC fight and somehow that has happened...so why not judges?
