Absolutely no way on God's green earth that Lamas took 2 and that judge should be taken out the back and put down like a dog.

@massa outstanding call. This does not bode well for the rest of the card. Hopefully bad judging doesn't cost someone. Bektic won that fight clearly.

@mbach I watch WMMA in the hope of wardrobe malfunctions mostly. I've got a half a fat every time Pearl Gonzalez shows.
