Daniel Cormier isn’t very satiated with the way the judging took place at Ufc Kansas City last weekend.
The UFC Kansas City event- aka UFC on ESPN 44, which took place at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri on the 15th of April, had a number of interesting fights, but many eyebrows were raised over a number of judging decisions.
The biggest controversy that surrounded last Saturday night was the verdict of the Joselyne Edwards vs. Lucie Pudilova catchweight bout on the undercard. While a split decision win was awarded to Edwards, many argued that it was Pudilova who deserved the victory.
Daniel Cormier, the former two division UFC champion, has been the loudest voice over the judgment controversy. The color commentator channeled his disappointment over UFC Kansas City judging on both Twitter as well as YouTube.
“That’s really bad! What a bad start to the night with Judging. Holy shit” DC wrote on Twitter.
“Let’s not even talk about (Joselyne Edwards vs Lucie Pudilova). Some of the absolute worst judging I have ever seen in my entire life,” Cormier later stated on YouTube. “I have nothing against Joselyne Edwards, but she won that fight. I don’t know how she won that fight. She got beat, it is what it is.”
