Wow Dominick Cruz called for Judge Joe Solis, who gave the 49-46 (4-1) for Jones to have his Judging card revoked on-air. That means he definitely messed up big time. #UFC247 pic.twitter.com/JUHaTg1FX8

ufc is such fucking bullshit. preserving Jon’s name and hype. HOW THE FUCK CAN U CALL THAT 48-46 JONES. Reyes won 1, 2 and 3. blatant robbery.
This is why it’s not respected and recognised as a PROPER sport yet. It’s more of a showbiz. #UFC247 pic.twitter.com/6uOeOJKcNv

This right here is Joe Soliz. This dumbass just judged the Jon Jones v Dominick Reyes fight and he scored it 49-46 to Jones. This fucking retard thinks Jon Jones won 4 rounds. He needs to get banned from ever judging again. Fuck him #UFC247 #JonesvsReyes pic.twitter.com/qfLN3cmqnj
