"I'm hurting right now you know...I believe I've lost half a pay check. The judges, they don't lose half a pay check. I feel like I've been robbed, you know?" -Pearson last night at the post fight conference.
My thoughts exactly and my sentiments to Pearson.
When are judges going to be held accountable for these very questionable, incompetent, and arguably corrupt scorings?
Jeff Collins' 30-27 score for Diego is truly head scratching...
The only legit argument I could see for his scoring is that he accidently put 30-27 for Diego, meaning he got the colors / names mixed up on the score cards. Even if this were true, he should be fired for sheer incompetency.
As a crappy gambler I lost on Pearson last night, but its obviously nothing in comparison to the thousands Pearson lost, the thousands other gamblers were robbed of, and most importantly the big LOSS that is now on Ross' official record.
I think the solution is for Ross to immediately appeal the decision. After which zuffa needs to use some money and muscle to aggressively seek out reform in the different athletic commissions with a focus on judging reform and actual accountability among these half assed judges. These fools are either str8 corrupt, or are completely negligent and ignorant to their respective duties and MUST be held accountable.
Jeff Collins (and Chris Tellez for that matter) should man up and start by paying Pearson his win money asap. Then Collins should be fired or if he has a soul should resign to a smaller position in the commission.
Props to Marcos Rosales for being the only professional there that evening.
I've seen many horrible decisions in my decade+ of watching mma, but this is the icing on the cake. My faith in the sport is wavering if there isn't serious reform soon.
