News Twilight Zone: Sal D'Amato saved the judging at 302

[HockeyBjj]

Take a look at these scorecards from UFC 302

The first crazy split decision that shouldn't have been split. Chris Lee gave Cesar Almeda the last two rounds. Thankfully Sal gave Kopylov all three to side with Eric Colon for the correct winner

Next up, Strickland and Costa. Chris Lee was the sane one giving it to Strickland, but then Dave Tirelli somehow thought Costa won the first 4 rounds. Again thankfully, Sal had it 49-46 for Sean so the correct man won

Islam finished the fight so he thankfully didn't have to worry about bizzare scoring, but it was heading for another head scratching split as Chris Lee had the fight 2-2 going into the 5th round. Sal again would have saved us from a robbery as he and Colon already scored 3 rounds in Islam's favor.

I wish kopolov got robbed. Would have cashed a 7 fight parlay

Would it actually be "head scratching" considering the two rounds Lee gave Dustin were also rounds Sal and Colon were split on?

Eric gave the second to Dustin and Sal the fourth, not unreasonable that someone would see both for Poirier.

Damn, that would’ve been some nice money bro!
If only César was able to stuff those naked takedowns in the middle of the octagon, you would be rich by now

When they announced the last scorecard for that Costa/Strickland fight I thought for sure Costa was about to win a decision lol.


For the record, I think Sean has a serious problem with his output and style and he's gonna continue to keep getting "robbed" or losing decisions because he isn't doing anything to acknowledge or improve his game. It's an ugly style and the judges clearly aren't aren't scoring his style favorably

His coach Eric Nicksick keeps tell him exactly that.

Sal D'Amato is GOAT judge, apparently.

Big Salbowski is easily the best judge in MMA.

Until Saturday, of course, when the wheels may come off again lol

Must have taken his dementia meds

I just re-watched Islam vs. Dustin and just don't see how two judges (including Sal) gave round 4 to Dustin....

Islam was up 4-0 (3-1 at the absolute worst). 2-2 is insane on Eric Colon's part.

Sal d stands for dumbass amato is usually the worst but they make them extra dumb in jersey

Being the best judge next to chris Lee is like being the smartest kid on the short bus, dude still sucks ass at his job Chris Lee just sucks more
