There’s been some shaky decisions on UFC cards all over the world in 2010, but last night Rogan launched into an attack on the quality of judging in Nevada.
“I think (Kizer) needs to clean house. There’s a few very good judges surrounded by a bunch of incompetent morons, who know nothing about the sport …. They need to do something about that, because it’s ruining MMA. It’s making people think that the sport is corrupt. It has nothing to do with corruption. It’s sheer and total incompetence.”
It’s not ruining the sport. And unless the broadcasters at the event harp on this judging incompetancy thing, most casual fans will let shaky decisions slide after a few days.
It makes it difficult to sell dummies like N.Y. assemblyman Bob Reilly on the notion that the sport is safe and legitimatewhen some of the biggest people around the sport undermine the effort by saying MMA is way short on qualified referees and judges.
