Alan Jouban was left infuriated with the referees scoring after his split decision loss to Dwight Grant at UFC 236, believing he had done enough in the fight to win.
The judges scored the fight 29-28, 27-30, 29-28 for Grant and Jouban was visibly shocked when announcer Bruce Buffer read out the scoring. Jouban continued to express his frustration backstage, telling ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that he was hugely disappointed with the scoring and that he “wanted an explanation” as to why the referees scored the fight the way they did. The 37-year-old also questioned the judges’ martial arts backgrounds, or lack thereof, as a possible answer as to why they scored it the way they did.
