Media Fighters community back up Gordon and Ankalaev in the UFC 282 robbery fiasco.

The Jan fight wasnt egregious like the Paddy fight. An arguement can be made for Jan 1,2,3. Paddy on the other hand clearly lost almost every moment of the fight, landed nothing significant and had no dominant positions iirc.
 
I missed the last 2 rounds of the Ankalaev fight as my stream went to shit but I thought Jan probably was up 2-1 or 3-0. Jan HURT him bad. His legs were destroyed. That has to count for something.

The Paddy fight was one of the worst I have ever seen. Gordon won every round. He especially won the first.
 
I am on a crazy theory that this fight was ruled a draw to give 283 a main event.
 
Before I even looked at the Paddy scorecards I knew Douglas Crosby was a judge. Google this dude and go down that rabbit hole for half an hour, guy is a menace and still gets these gigs somehow. He's also the main antagonist in Chael's infamous Hole story

As has been pointed out, Crosby also turned in the 50-45 scorecard for Sabatello over Stots in Bellator.

He's clearly unfit to judge fights.

Ultimate fixed corruption

no wonder betting has been banned for “integrity issues”

It makes you wonder about the betting…but it’s funny how they throw out odds and tell us about how betting $100 on this and that parlay will pay you “X” amount of dollars if you win…
 
People who claim that Jan won or draw don’t see that human errors in this case. Live bettings odds is objective and the computers are put in place to do a job. They are rarely wrong. The fact that they had it lopsided for Yan, Gordon, and Ankalaev but O’Malley, Paddy, and draw was the official ruling. And these fights are “just coincidence” to be the biggest wtf decisions lately is no accident.

I’ve come to the realization that they are two kinds of mma fans. One who use the process of the fight to come to a conclusion. And the other will accept any outcome and find things to support that outcome.

Whats even more crazy is the lack of coverage by MMA reporting sites on how bad these decisions were absolutely appalling, makes me think that there is some grand conspiracy and everyone is getting a payday to bury it. Was the same shit with Yan vs Omalley and I will say that the Pimblett/Gordon decision was far worse that that one.

Dana has successfully turned MMA reporters into a bunch of sycophants rather than objective reporters via fear of getting Ariel'd.

This is where Ariel shines. One of the only ones to criticize the company when needed, which is why Dana despised him. At least there’s one out there who isn’t afraid of him.
 
People can rip on Sal, god knows I have, but his scorecard was pretty defensible imo. His 10-8 fifth saved Ankalaev from a loss. Definitely didn't see what the judges saw in the Pimblett fight.

I knew Paddy will get the decision, it was just so fake. Same when they were hyping up Till to be the next unbeatable God, he had many fishy decisions which people forget about. He lost at least 3 of the decisons that he "won" or they said was a draw. All he did was stare in those fights and point fight and throw like 1 punch every 3 minutes

At the end of the day, the Paddy/Jared fight was close round to round but I did think Jared won.

I wouldn’t be all that surprised if the next time we see Till fight it’s in Bellator or PFL.

Rewatched the fight with no sound on, Gordon Paddy was a robbery, but Gordon tried to win with wall and stall.

Ankalaev got destroyed on the feet. You can tout stats all you want, he was getting hit more and with harder, more impactful shots. Commentary was hyping up hits that didn't touch or landed on guard. He had no choice but to wrestle. And then again, he did nothing with it, and commentary was completely ignoring him getting elbowed in the face from the bottom, and the stats somehow show 0 strikes.

If we are judging round for round, Jan won, Jan couldn't get back up so 5th round could be a 10:8 and lead to a draw.

You got it

Ankalev got fucked up on the feet. Jan was throwing bombs to Ankalev legs and the russian was barely able to stand up. We all were thinking that the fight was almost over when he kept gay-jumping on his feet.

Then he layed and prayed to get the victory but you are in the championship rounds you nuthugger, if you are on top position for 10 fucking minutes make sure you do some serious GnP instead of waiting for the bell

Ankaleav had his ass tuned the fuck up for 3 rounds. I hope he follows through on his promise so we never have to see his lay n pray in another main event.

This. He got kicked around the cage for 3 rounds then goes on a rant demanding his belt at the end of the end of the fight

Back to back trash decisions. Absolute garbage. Gordon won. Ankalaev won. I don't even know what to say. The Co-Main esp. is a fucking embarrassment.

It s a disgrace, but not many poeple see the UFC as a legit org anyways.
 
Yes Ankalaev controlled Jan like a little child in rounds 4 and 5. Jan didn't have shit. But that's 2/5 rounds. Weren't the first 3 rounds extremely close? All I remember is the damage done to Ankalaev's legs in those rounds..

If anybody has recency bias in those last two rounds I'd understand. Even Jan. It was very similar to Jon Fitch vs BJ Penn
