I will be back for the Culibao vs. Melsik fight. The UFC 283 undercard was much more solid than tonight's.

They don't have the same judges for every fight, they alternate throughout the event.

yeah, its weird because australia isn't usually this corrupt/bizarre

I got cursed card vibes as soon as I realized how late the weigh ins were and how close to the actual fight, not long enough of a period to rehydrate for people that are cutting a lot

Derek Cleary is known to be the most corrupt judge in MMA. I'm not familiar with the other two.

That's what they call a bait and switch. 

Pull the biggest robbery of the year in the first fight of the night

Then dissapear. All 3 of those criminals.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist...

And just like that... they were gone..
