wow what a bullshit Main Event decision. :mad:

Garbage.

Boxing judges?

It's one of the many things that ruined boxing, bad judging. UFC is usually very good in this category so this was disappointing.

From what I read that decision was worse than any boxing decision I have ever heard of. The analysts seemed to have Shogun winning every round. It appears that a fix was on from how it was described. I haven't seen the bout to judge first hand.
