MMA judge Doug Crosby under fire for potential conflict of interest regarding Al Iaquinta

The most controversial UFC decision in April was surely the lightweight co-main event of UFC Fight Night in Virginia between Al Iaquinta and Jorge Masvidal. Iaquinta took the split decision with two 29-28s in his favor and a 30-27 for Masvidal. Most media observers and fans thought that Masvidal deserved the nod, and judge Doug Crosby did give Masvidal the 30-27 scorecard.

In the aftermath of the decision, MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani mentioned Crosby's longstanding feud with Ray Longo, which was later followed up by Iaquinta himself alleging a Crosby-Longo beef, as well as an Order of Protection issued against him from one of the Serra-Longo fighters.
