UFC President Dana White had a lot to ponder about the action at UFC 282. The main event between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight division ended in an unfortunate draw. And even the co-main event between Paddy Pimblett and Jared Gordon ended with the judges’ decision. Unfortunately, the night wasn’t as conclusive as it needed to be for organizers and spectators alike. Therefore, most MMA fans weren’t supportive of the decision.

But, the UFC president addressed the fighters directly on how to overcome the obstacle of the final decision. And his answer made a lot of sense after a keen look at the recent fights, which were at the mercy of judgment.

The reporter posed an obvious question in everyone’s minds. How can the UFC work with the Nevada Athletic Commission to improve the judges’ consistency?

The UFC boss answered, “We’ve been doing it for years…”

“I mean, for 23 years, we’ve been working with these guys on that stuff.”

But, still, these judgment problems persist. Judgment has always been an issue with the NAC or other boards. For instance, many from the UFC world stood in favor of Jared Gordon against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 282. But, many believe Pimblett took the victory home because he won the popularity contest and sells more tickets.

Although, Dana White spoke about Gordon’s “Horrible Gameplan” in the later rounds, which led to his loss.

The UFC boss leaves it to the fighters

But The UFC president spoke out on how to combat these incorrect judgments. White said, “Don’t leave it in the hands of these judges!”

He spoke about the fighter’s responsibility to finish his job and not depend on the end call.

“Don’t go out in the third round, think you won the first two rounds and push a guy against the cage, when you were doing great in the fight anyway!”

“You already were doing great in the fight. Go out and fight the third round!”

Dana White concluded, “When rounds are that close, you don’t go and give away the third round.” and illustrated the importance of the later rounds.
