Fights that should have gone the other way

So Ross Pearson vs Diego Sanchez is the immediate thought, worse decision in history IMO (coming from a Sanchez fan)

 

Others that jump out in my personal memory would be Hendricks vs GSP , Diaz vs Silva, Diaz vs Condit, Penn vs GSP I.

 

If any of you seriously don't think Hendricks beat GSP and Diaz didn't beat Silva then you need help.

Ones off of the top of my head that you didn't mention:

 

Lawler vs. Condit, Woodley vs. Wonderboy 2 (draw or Wonderboy win imo), Ham vs. Rawlings & Taylor, Fedor vs. Maldonado, Bendo vs. Cerrone 3, Laquinta vs. Masvidal

 

None others come to mind right now

Fedor Maldonado was a shit show of fight fixing lol.

 

Bendo/Edgar I and II jump out to me aswell actually, couldn't believe Edgar lost either when it was announced

 

It's always like that with Bendo tbh, 90% of his fights end in a split decision of some sort lol

There are some not mentioned here that I remember thinking at the time that the wrong decision was made. Now I have to admit that I do drink a fair amount when I watch events so my opinion at that point may not be something I would bet my house on. If I were to watch them again right now then I may disagree with my previous judgement. Also, I'm not saying they were massively controversial, just that I remember disagreeing at the time. So let's not judge me on something that I clearly cannot back up ?

 

Machida vs Shogun - I recall there being outrage at this result so I know I wasn't alone.

Couture vs Vera - Can't recall exactly but thought Randy was gifted this. Think Vera done enough to win.

Sanchez vs Kampmann - Thought Kampmann pretty much fucked him up to be honest.

Huerta vs Maynard - Again, not entirely sure but at the time I remember thinking that Maynard winning was "convenient" for UFC.

Lauzon vs Held - Had to look it up as I couldn't recall the guys name but to me Lauzon should have lost and I'm sure he even said so?

shit yeah you're right with Lauzon vs Held, that was a fuckery of a decision. I thought Lauzon was robbed in the Miller fight before that too, but I'd need to rewatch.

Silva vs Diaz...

 

 

everything I've read and highlights I watched, didn't see anything where it remotely looked like Nick Diaz won that fight lol. Diaz vs Condit too... it was close, but I think Condit edged it out for sure.

 

I'm a Nick Diaz fan. I just haven't seen one person that said Diaz won that fight.

sanchez has a lot of robberies in his favor, but iirc he shouldve won the ellenberger fight

 

theres also been a slew of robberies favoring leonard garcia, but max holloway actually got a robbery dec win vs him

 

when I read the OP, Garcia vs TKZ was a fight that instantly came to mind.

more recently: Holm vs De Randamie. Even with no point deducted, Holm should have had that decision 48-47, but there should have been 1 if not 2 points deducted from De Randamie if not outright DQ.

Lol no, no way Holm takes 3 rounds, new rules were in play, I had that 49-46 GDR, although I can understand 48-47
