The UFC president Dana White was both surprised and disturbed by the scoring in the title fight, especially the 10-8 scoring in the fifth round.
“When I found out one of the judges scored it 10-8, this guy should be fucking investigated for this. This is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen in my life,” White said at a recent press conference.
‘“As I was talking to people, there’s a seminar tomorrow with the athletic commission on 10-8’s. Especially with a title fight, there’s so much at stake in a title fight. It’s more than just money, show and win, pay-per-view, championships and legacies. It’s just you have to have the best of the best in title fights. They’ve assured me this guy isn’t a bad guy. He just fucked up and made a mistake. It’s unfortunate. There’s no way in hell that was a 10-8 round.”
