I find Ariel's speculation.. well, completely stupid. The UFC has decisions go against them all the time as well, they just never get brought up because it's a non-story. Like, you don't think the UFC would want Gane to beat Ngannou this year if that's what was really going on? Or make sure Jon Jones loses those close decisions to give a massive rematch? I just don't really understand the speculation. It's well-established that Crosby is a nutjob who does his own thing. If this is what he was doing, why not go 48-47 Sabatello on Friday night? How do you explain the other judging issues with Paddy outside of Crosby?
It's a systemic issue with judges. Put them in a box with an HDTV, explain to them the criteria, and hold them accountable. It's not that difficult. Or maybe it is more difficult than that, but at least try something so we know for sure.
