“So does Sal D’Amato have to report to anyone on why he scored it for Jack? Would be very interested to hear his reasoning for giving him that score on the cards. Judge accountability should be a thing. #UFCVegas47,” Daukaus tweeted.
A similar scorecard issue happened in December where Angela Hill won the fight in the eyes of many, but lost on the scorecards.
