“The (Holly) Holm fight last night was wrong. This is no knock on Ketlen Vieira. So when I state these opinions it’s not an attack on anyone in particular. This is just me saying what I feel and where I believe the blame resides. The blame resides in the judging. It really does,” said the color commentator.
He then went on to speak about his role in the UFC. He said, “There is a lot of times we are calling the fights and we get lost talking about the judging, what we think the scorecards would be, and how the fight is going to look at the end. And the reality is when we do that we are not doing our job… But because the judging has become such a main topic of conversation, now we are spending time discussing that because we’re so unsure about what it’s going to look like at the end of the fight.”
Cormier also posted the longer video on his YouTube channel and spoke about how the judging was ‘f*cked up a little bit.”
