Dave Tirelli had two of the worst scorecards in UFC judging history tonight

They also managed to have that one clueless ref who had no idea that you're supposed to stop the fight for an eyepoke.

How in the world does that happen, anyway? How do you get a job reffing UFC fights if you don't know something that basic? Surely there's some test or SOMETHING you need to take?
 
You know, I certainly wouldn't have scored it that way, but trying to justify that scorecard, I don't think Strickland set himself apart with any significance in any of the rounds.
He scored those 2 sort of knockdowns, but they looked more like unbalances and he never even followed up on them. Besides those 2 shots, the most significant damage Strickland inflicted on Costa was by checking some leg kicks in the second half.

Was Costa running away a bad bad look? Sure. But since space control is a non criterium unless all is even, that might not have been evaluated on that scorecard.
Personally I probably would've called it even and actually scored the aggression. If you don't, I suppose the fight could go to either. Not a whole lot of high impact shots landed.
 
His shit scorecards didn't even affect the outcomes, either, making them even more bizarre

I missed what fight it was as didnt watch all of em but there was also blatant headbut in the Edwards-Perez one and not even point was taken.

Same, picked 7 winners to win £350 from £20 and Strickland was the last bet on that parlay. Nearly started crying when the first judge scored it for Costa !
 
Awful judge, was he even watching the fights or did he have one of those pre-filled out score cards like the legendary Cecil Peoples used to have

I think Strickland was landing the more consistent offence, but I do think it's interesting that the compubox crap they threw on screen looked way different than the stats I'm looking at now on the UFC site. I feel like the in-fight graphic had Strickland outlanding Paulo like 2:1 most of the fight, not that those numbers are in any way objective to begin with. I do think the commentators also oversold a lot of pretty glancing/blocks strikes from Sean.
