***! ... they seriously need to re-think the judging/scoring system... Omigawa took 2 rounds easily

getting de-ja-vu from MFC last night, maybe they'll reverse the decision again lol

i think more ex-fighter need to become judges, though they might be just as biased toward friends etc ... maybe have 5 judges instead of 3, even a judge for each criteria, striking, grappling etc

GOD ******* DAMN IT! The only ******* time I get picks wrong is with ******* ROBBERIES

Actually that isn't true, but I always pick the guy who gets robbed.

Greg you should give the guys who picked Omigawa the correct pick, haha.


That was a ******* robbery. Clear bias, judging ruins this ******* sport.
