Wrong again. Ketlen won the fight. Jeez I am a terrible judge. We have a judging conference coming up and I looking forward to going to school and learning how to watch MMA.

Fair. But open scoring can be implemented tomorrow (I know it won’t). A plethora of good judges can’t be found tomorrow. Consider it a bridge. https://t.co/fggouuPIaK

Yeah but at least you know you’re in the process of getting screwed. No one ever said open scoring will fix bad judging but you guys deserve to know where you stand with so much on the line
