UFC EXPOSED? Why Does Every "Controversial" Decision Benefit Them? THEY WILL NEVER FIX JUDGING!

After the Kara-France vs Albazi robbery judges decision, I notice that every bad UFC judging moment has benefitted the UFC by keeping their stars safe like Paddy Pimblett, Sean O'Malley and Israel Adesanya, let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below.

So Jon Jones and GSP have the exact same career. They both lost to a monster. GSP lost soundly to Hendricks, taking much more damage than Hendricks. The same thing happened with Jon vs. Reyes. Reyes is actually Johnny's older half brother. Jon Jones and GSP being treated like unstoppable Gods is not really fair to other good fighters. Justin Gaethje should be considered the GOAT, because he's only had one really poor performance in the UFC against Khabib.

Its also just suspicious how Dana doesn’t have any solution apart from don’t let it go to the judges. Basically Fight to the knock out cause you can’t trust the commission, and it’s more exciting and gets more views. Dana is a shady walking contradiction

[@ruin3r]

I've been saying this for a while now: They fix fights when it's a close decision and one fighter winning vastly benefits them financially. It's just like boxing who's been doing this for decades, except the excuse for boxing is they have multiple big promoters, and typically if it goes the distance the W goes to the guy fighting for that event's promoter. In UFC they're all under the same promotion so they give the decision to whoever will help them generate more revenue. I also believe they encourage the judges to get random fights like Albazi/Kai wrong on purpose, to create a false air of incompetency. It would be very sus if they ONLY got big/important fights wrong in a way that benefited them, so they have to combat that by throwing random fighters under the bus every card to make it clear that the judges will regularly get it wrong. I don't think the judges are the problem at all, I think they're doing what they're told to create this smokescreen which disguises the UFC's corruption. Kai was robbed so that when they rob Aljo, or Chandler, or Jones' next opponent in favor of the bigger star, fans will say "oh those crazy judges again" instead of noticing the obvious corruption.

[@nathanmorar8007]

Good point and I would agree but not for this fight. There was a very clear incentive for Albazi to win. Albazi is now ranked #3 and ahead of Royval who’s the back up for the title fight. Pantoja and Moreno are fighting in July. There’s an Abu Dhabi fight card in October. Everything aligns to boost that Middle East and Muslim market for that fight.

[@ruin3r]

​@Olives Chad 👱🏾 The short version is the judges are on Dana’s payroll, they fix low and mid tier fights regularly to cover for fixing big/important fights, cause it would be too sus if they only did the big ones.

Eh that kinda thing is fine. If they won by finish because the ref didn’t stop the fight then the ref did the right thing by not stopping the fight. Stoppages are only meant to be done when a fighter has obviously lost and to prevent them from taking extra damage. It’s not like Lesnar just cruised to a controversial decision, he submitted him. If refs started stopping fights that a fighter could have won then guys like Nate would never have a career. It’s your job to get them out of there not rely on a TKO.

It's such an easy read these days. Dana just cares about capital and thats all. Reasons he worships Vince mcmahon

[@Ghost-pe2tm]

Here we go boys 🍿

[@Sephiroth-1]

I've been noticing this aswell good shit for calling it out with detail

[@activeunsub]

There are bad scorecards every other weekend, the only difference is that the ones involving well known fighters get more attention and the others don't bc nobody cares or they're fights of no consequence so u can't make up conspiracies.

[@ExoticEio]

This is one of the few times I agree with everything you said great video bro

[@giuseppebattista5463]

I have an alternative theory: Televised sport revolves around betting. The biggest stars attract the largest amount of betting. Corrupt commissions choose referees and judges that favor stars because they want to maximize the amount of betting in the long-term. That means that betting lobbies likely control these commissions. The UFC probably cannot control this, but they might exploit this by scheduling high-profile fights in states with corrupt commissions because they also benefit from their stars being favored by judges and referees (through PPV buys, gates, merch, etc...). This type of corruption is mutually beneficial for the UFC and for betting lobbies, so it keeps on happening. And it's not just judges that may be involved in corruption, but referees too. I want you to pay attention to how most time a UFC star fights, the same referees are brought, and they favor the star. Take a look, for instance, at Conor vs Khabib, where Conor was grabbing the fence and throwing illegal shots, but the referee was letting it slide. Why is that? In the past, every time a UFC star would fight, I already knew in advance that Herb Dean would be the referee, because he always favors cash cows. And whenever a controversial decision happens, the media (and Dana) tries to take the focus away from corruption and instead talks about "incompetence", as if the possibility of corruption is inexistent, where clearly, this "incompetence" is very consistent with favoring the UFC and betting lobbies. In conclusion, I think that since state commissions play a large role in determining who the judges and referees are, and specific state commissions are known to bring in judges and referees that favor cash cows (Nevada State Athletic Commission), the UFC holds high profile fights in Vegas and other corrupt states because they also benefit from this corruption. I think corruption in judging and refereeing varies from state to state, and from country to country.

Spitting so much facts. 💯

[@ryc2294]

This is a serious issue I'm glad you not letting this go

[@TriWaZe]

Why is there always one rd that gets judges completely wrong so everybody’s attention focuses on that and people become less inclined to bring up the the fact the whole fight was robbed.

[@XxxXxx-br7eq]

You just answered your own question with your question lol

[@Slim-Clips]

There isn’t many cases of black or Muslim fighters getting robbed either…

[@Manicmma-x1t]

Emeev roberts come to mind but nothing else

[@XxxXxx-br7eq]

And now some Asian ones because they trying to build that market are being protected.

[@jamesramsey3572]

Spot on Guru. Nice analysis.

[@Stefan-ei7nr]

The sandhagen one was the most shocking in my opinion.

[@eazymacc]

Was waitin on this video

[@semyaza555]

You forgot Mighty Mouse v Henry Cejudo when DJ was at odds with the UFC, then was coincidentally traded to ONE.

[@sayville_silver]

Jon Jones won the fight 4 rounds to 1. Its pretty obvious. I'm not even joking. Reyes just swung at air.

[@chiquita683]

This could all be solved easily if judges provided brief commentary on the criteria they used to score the round. Wouldnt have to be detailed or long like "Submission threat" or "significant strikes" or "Paddy beatin the brakes off Gordon". But then fans could learn how to look at fights

[@ToastWifTheMost]

Another mma guru instant classic rant

[@karljonson3287]

You're a raging dummy toast

[@prestonrutherford873]

Not to mention *Whittaker vs. Adesanya 2* and *Volk vs. Islam.* Not robberies, but polarising decisions that went to the fighter with the bigger fanbase.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Agree years ago it wasn’t like this , they would just run it back or let marquee fighters take the L ,

[@american1207]

Only time I can think where they didn't benefit from it is Ciryl Gane vs Francis and maybe Cejudo vs Sterling but was that really that controversial. Edit - And maybe Namajunas Esparza but idk if Rose is really that much more popular than Esparza at least to the point where Dana would care who won

[@the-mma-guru]

Exactly the two controversial decisions that didn't benefit them were actually the least controversial and dont really qualify as "robberies" where as all the really clear robberies benefit them massively.

[@auranewaters9574]

@@the-mma-guru Tf you complained so much about the Gane vs Ngannou decision and you said the scorecards were pre written lol

[@karljonson3287]

​@@the-mma-guru robberies are a wide concept too though.

[@chiquita683]

What about Izzy vs Jan. It would have been much better for UFC for Izzy to have the belt to troll Jones but Jan won off of ground control that doesnt count for points

[@forwardmoving8252]

​@Aurane Waters he always does this. He goes from calling fights blatant robberies to "not that bad" and goes from calling other fights "close/could have gone either way" to "horrible robberies. " guy is dumb

[@Falkov]

Good stuff. Stats for each ref's controversial scoring record might make for strong content as well.

[@keion_arknights]

Derek Cleary giving round 5 to Aljo. Probably because they don't want Henry "spontaneous belt vacation" Cejudo to do his thing.

[@eldgepollard5906]

Aljo obviously won the 3rd so it balances out

[@forwardmoving8252]

Yeah because having an Oscar award winner is better. Foh. Sterling is the worst champ of the last 5-10 years

[@keion_arknights]

@@eldgepollard5906 He didn't tho. He took the hardest shots of the round from the knee and the punch which sent him to his knees. Damage-wise that's Cejudo's round.

[@alextomlinson]

It's *almost* as if some judges get a tip off as to who the fan favourite is in each meaningful fight👀👀👀

[@simonsara4031]

1000000000% PREACH

[@ragidyman9551]

preach brother, when they can't buy the fighter, they buy the judges

[@darkervoid1905]

Also Josh Emmett vs Calvin Kattar. Calvin had already brutally lost to Max Holloway and Josh Emmett was a fresh contender. One of the judges even somehow gave him round 4 which is ridiculous.

[@someguy7153]

Chris Lee was the culprit.

[@2024ty]

Thank you for exposing them with the video. But its always been obvious to why they rig score cards lol

[@iimax_9135]

I see what you did putting the black fighters on the right and the white fighters on the left 😂

[@cvonnbaugh3246]

I've been an adamant watcher since 2005 and I've contemplated not watching the UFC because of the clear collusion for years now. Stay at their throats and keep up the hard work guru!
