FOX has unveiled the Presidential Address, a message from UFC President Dana White to the fans. Topic of the first piece is refs and judges in MMA.

“One of the big problems that we have is judging and reffing,” ssid White. “It’s one of the things that drives me crazy and attention needs to be paid to scoring and reffing.

“First of all, it affects guys careers as far as legacies go. Jon Jones? Jon Jones should be undefeated right now but he’s not, he’s got a loss on his record and there’s tons of guys in the UFC that have those. There’s guys who have absolutely, clearly won fights and they have lost on the judges’ scorecards.

“Nobody’s perfect. There’s always gonna be problems. But the judging and the reffing is so bad in mixed martial arts, it it its uhhhh it drives me crazy. The fans hate it too and it hurts the sport. These athletic commissions really need to tighten up and start working on educating their refs and judges.”
