Chinese UFC fighter, Li Jingliang, commented on this post by Petr Yan. In his last fight, he went up against an American fighter, Daniel Rodriguez. The judges also decided their bout on a split decision, favoring “D-Rod”.
These notorious judgment calls really affect the fighting game. But Li Jingliang had an answer for the judges. He appropriately wore a tank on which the word “Robbed” was written in red. The Chinese fighter kindly offered this top to Yan and said, “Bro, I have a shirt you can borrow because you were also #Robbed”
The fighters cannot understand how they lost to an undeserving opponent. Both of them are mad at the judges who showed favoritism to the other fighter. Yan has officially lost to Sean O’Malley, but seeing how fans reacted to this match, a rematch might be on cards.
