McGregor slams Aldo’s razor-thin loss: ”Dirt decision”

Conor McGregor was not happy with the judges giving Mario Bautista the win via a split decision (29-28, 28-29 x2) at UFC 307. After the fight, McGregor supported his old foe Jose Aldo on social media.

”Rogan said the judges weren’t even looking. That was Jose’s story. Bullshit decision. He has just said he was shooting in just to hold him against the fence. That’s not good enough. Referees need to step in here. This sport is the fans sport. Remember this and act accordingly,” McGregor wrote.

McGregor was not the only one disliking the decision. The likes of Kenny Florian and Renato Moicano slammed the scorecards.

Dana White calls UFC 307 judging ’atrocious’

UFC CEO also expressed irritation about the controversial decision at UFC 307.

“The judging tonight was atrocious,” White said at the UFC 307 post-fight press conference. “I felt like I was at a boxing match in Ireland tonight.”

Title shot next for Kayla Harrison?

Former two-time PFL season champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison put on another dominant performance in the UFC. On the main card, she got a unanimous decision win over Ketlen Vieira.

The win certainly put her in a very good position to fight for the in the women’s bantamweight title next.

“Ladies, enjoy it while you can, because the queen is home, and she’s coming for that f*cking gold,” Harrison said post-fight.
