Most blatant robbery decisions.

Boetsch vs Dollabills
Pearson vs Sanchez

These two are too blatant.
 
I remember that one, holy shit that was bad.

Yeah, it was. I just remember Carmont coming forward and getting tagged up and then trying to stall on Larkin, but Larkin pretty much tuned him up for three rounds. Carmont even took him down once, but then ate a bunch of shots from the bottom and did nothing with it. He literally won the fight based on going forward and being aggressive, but doing nothing but eating strikes and getting beat up for it.
 
Aside from St. Pierre-Hendricks, I agree with those that have been mentioned. I'll just reiterate two that seem to me to haven't been mentioned enough:

Mousasi-Jardine
DosAnjos-Dunham

and I'll throw in a controversial one:
Arlovski-Mir
 
With the scoring criteria jardine/mousasi was pretty on point, I wish there would be more 10-8s but it showed how poor a point system CAN BE with judging fights

I think the issue with that fight was Mousasi barley grazed Jardine when he moved from standing to one knee and the ref took a point immediately. I can't remember if Jardine should have won a round or not but I think I remember it being a 30-27 fight but with a point deduction for Mousasi(my personal score).
 
blatant.

MMA media is far from the 'be all end all' of opinion.

I thought Johny won the fight while watching the fight live, I'll be honest. But when I watched it again, I truly believed Georges deserved the nod.
 
First Warren vs Galvao match was pretty infamous for a while.
 
sanchez vs pearson was perhaps just as bad
GSP vs Hendricks was pretty bad
Yup shoguns reckoning was too satisfying


GSP/Hendricks came down to one round, and that round was fairly close. So no, it wasn't a massive robbery.

I feel ya, the point deduction was quick, I gave jardine the 1st just because he landed 4 take downs iirc, not that he did much but I don't remember mousasi lighting him up in the first either, 2nd and 3rd was a different story.

That's why I think it felt like a robbery because of how much the tide had turned and how dominant mousasi looked in the latter half but the point deduction mixed with squeaking out the first goes a long way in a three round fight
 
Mark Coleman v. Pedro Rizzo. Rizzo got the nod, even though Coleman clearly dominated the match.
 
Tj grant/Dunham

Dos anjos/Dunham

Sherk/Dunham
 
The irony here is that the one British judge scored it for Hamill, the two American judges scored it for Bisping.

further perpetuating the stereotype that British are smarter than Americans.
 
Shogun vs Machida 1 and Shogun vs Hendo 1.

Shogun won 4 rounds vs Machida while vs Hendo,Dan won the first 3 rounds clearly,the last two were Shogun's but the last round was the clearest of 10-8's.It was a draw but Shogun was given another unjust loss after doing so well coming from behind doing enough to deserve a draw,but because stubborn judges.
