The controversies have added up over the months for the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC). So the knee-jerk reaction whenever its officials make a disputed call is to blast them. And so it was one day after Daniel Cormier so obviously pulled the wool over the commission’s eyes, distributing his weight onto a towel to “lose” 1.2 pounds in less than three minutes.
Maybe it’s difficult to blame the pundits and fans on social media for directing their ire at the NYSAC when the UFC 210 co-main event between Gegard Mousasi and Chris Weidman earlier this month ended in a terrible anti-climax.
