In addition to the 49-46 scoring of Jones/Reyes, before tonight he had only judged 7 total MMA fights including a 30-27 score for Andre Ewell who got his ass kicked, almost finished and had to limp out the cage. http://mmadecisions.com/decision/10872/Trevin-Giles-vs-James-Krause James Krause came close on multiple occasions of submitting Giles with a rear naked choke and secured strong positioning for most of the round until the last 20 seconds where Soliz decided to stop twiddling his thumbs and watch the fight he was supposed to be scoring and saw that Trevin ended the round on top and scored it for him.
Same guy who scored Murphy - Lee, 30-27. Probably the guy they said wasn't even watching the fight. Basically, any counter puncher this guy judges has an auto loss. EDIT fake news
This guy was a disgrace the entire card. He then jumped on twitter trying to explain how Jones clearly won 4 rounds to 1, was laughable. Shouldn't get to judge a local card let alone a UFC ppv event again.
Makes sense I guess, I'd be in hiding after a performance like that, I mean at best you can say he's incompetent, at worst downright corrupt. Odds on he was the judge who wasn't watching the fights that got called out live by Rogan/Cruz.
7 fights? Unbelievable! Pretty disrespectful to have an inexperienced and incompetent fool like this idiot as judge. What a shit show! The UFC should threaten to never return to Texas until they find some decent MMA judges.
This guy doesn't know how to judge. Advancing only starts to count if the effective striking is even. https://www.dca.ca.gov/csac/forms_pubs/publications/unified_rules_2017.pdf
7 fights experience in MMA judging and he's doing two world title fights in the UFC. What the hell is going on?!
