Controversial decisions thread

Post your thoughts and score cards of controversial decisions from the early days to the present.

 

There's a vocal minority(that I happen to be a part of) that thought Cerrone won last week.

Rd 1 - 10-9 Cerrone
Rd 2 - 10-9 Cerrone
Rd 3 - 10-9 Lawler

29-28 Cerrone

Round 1 is the one that's disputed. Lawler came out trying to blitz Cerrone out early, and while landing some hard shots and winning the first minute or two of the round but it wasn't enough to get what he wanted and Cerrone fought back with hard shots of his own inside and out of the clinch. The second half of the round saw Cerrone complete a takedown and hold it for a good while and establish his range a bit better on the feet.

Going to rewatch Condit/Lawler and Condit/Diaz sometime this week. Two infamous fights with controversial decisions that involved NBK.

 

That's one most thought Coleman deserved to win, on the flip side Rizzo/Couture I is one most thought Rizzo decisively took.

 

Yeah both of those decisions were utter BS. Personally thought Hendricks won both fights against Lawler.

 

Quinton Jackson vs. Forrest Griffin - 5 rounds for the UFC Light-Heavyweight title.

Rd 1 - 10-9 Jackson

Rd 2 - 10-9 maybe 10-8 for Griffin? Dominated the round start to finish. Hurt Jackson bad with the low kicks, threatened with a few subs and maintained top position for the entire round thereafter.

Rd 3 - 10-9 Griffin

Rd 4 - 10-9 Jackson

Rd 5 - 10-9 Griffin

Either 48-47 Griffin or 48-46 Griffin are fine. No way Jackson won this fight. Simply out-hustled and out game-planned by Griffin. Not sure why so many argue that Jackson won this fight, there just isn't a valid case for it.

 

Thought the judges did a pretty good job for the most part... But what fight was Byrd watching?

How the hell do you give Griffin the 1st and Jackson the 5th?
