While UFC Vegas 58 proved to be a night full of thrilling fights, the event also had some questionable decisions. Michael Johnson came out at the wrong end of one such decision in his fight against Jamie Mullarkey. Fans and critics hit out at the judges for their decision. UFC Fighter Cortney Casey, who herself lost a similar decision, also came out in the support of ‘The Menace’.

Casey and Johnson, who were both at the receiving end of controversial decisions, supported each other and received support from fans online. Casey mentioned that while she was upset with the outcome of her fight, Johnson should be angry about his. The fighter also tagged UFC President Dana White in her tweet.

The women’s flyweight fighter tweeted, “Im upest about my decision but @Menace155 should be livid @danawhite @seanshelby #UFCVegas58″

Johnson seemed to appreciate Casey’s tweet. The fighter also mentioned that he didn’t think the judges were watching the fights.

“Yes I am! Keep you’re head up also. I’m convinced they don’t even watch the fights! Would love to see pics of them not paying attention.”

It is never easy for a fighter to be on the receiving end of decisions they feel should have gone their way. While the outcome of the fight did not go in their favor, both Johnson and Casey put up amazing performances at UFC Vegas 58.
