UFC San Antonio was a memorable event for many reasons. Unfortunately, some of those had to do with controversial scorecards and the judges. Just the night before the event, fight fans shared their disgust at a display of poor officiating at Fury FC. A clip of the same went viral on the internet and horrified the fans who feared for the athlete’s health in the aftermath. Despite these events, the same referee was on duty at UFC San Antonio.

Now, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou‘s coach, Eric Nicksick has come forward with a scathing set of words for the Texas Athletic Commission. The Xtreme Couture Head Coach and Gym Manager questioned the commission’s choices for the event, in light of the controversies.

The MMA world watched in shock as referee Frank Collazo failed to stop a fight at the right time at Fury FC 76. The event on March 24 saw Edgar Chairez face Gianni Vasquez. In the fourth round. Chairez choked out Vasquez via a triangle choke. However, Collazo did not call the fight. What’s worse, Chairez then transitioned to an armbar. Even after the damage was evident to all those watching, it took 20 long seconds before he stopped the fight. The incident drew harsh a reaction from UFC president Dana White as well.

As the incident raged on, fans and pros severely criticized Collazo. To everyone’s surprise and shock, the same individual showed up at UFC San Antonio. Only this time, he was a judge.

One fan thought Nicksick was raising an issue with Collazo’s scorecard. He clarified the issue, saying, “You’re completely missing my point, the scorecard isn’t the issue. The fact that this man had any assignment MMA related after not stopping the fight, when it was clear a kid was unconscious and then went on to have his arm fractured the night before for Fury FC as the referee.”

Several fans agreed with Nicksick in the comments. Many of them also shared their disgust at the poor officiating display from Collazo the night before.
