Surprising to me that that's the expression he has an issue with. Do people really use it to attack fighters? I thought it was more of a fatalistic phrase acknowledging how awful some decisions are. More along the lines of "that sucked, but at least in this sport you sometimes have the chance to decide your own destiny". Unlike figure skating or diving or something, where it's all judges' calls.
The one that befuddles me is Joe Rogan's "he's behind on the score cards, he should go all out this round". No, Joe, as it stands, he can take the decision loss, feel like shit and rest for a week and be back in the gym training, or out enjoying life. Or he can rush in stupidly against an opponent who has him worked out, get really hurt and spend the next few months miserable, recovering, unable to train.
