Controversial Fight Outcomes

Thought this is definitely worth noting. I feel bad for the fighters who have their records tarnished because of bad decisions on the refs or judges part. I don't like how a lot of fighters are judged by their record alone for numerous reasons. However, since a lot of times fighters are, I thought I'd add this page to defend fighters for other people's bad decisions.


Rampage vs Griffin
UFC 86 7-5-08
I seriously cannot figure out how all three judges scored in favor of Griffin. Griffin is an excellent fighter, and lots of respect to him. But Rampage had this one for sure.

Vera vs Werdum
UFC 85 6-7-08
Terrible ref stoppage. I don't care what anyone says. I'm a big Werdum fan from watching him in Pride. I was going for him which proves I'm not biased. Werdum's on top throwing punches but it didn't appear that they were connecting good. And with only 15 seconds in the round left, referee Dan Margliotta inappropriately stops the fight. Werdum was winning and probably would have won anyway, but this is so unfair to Vera. Werdum did nothing wrong and congrats to him but Vera should get another chance.
