For all intents and purposes, it appeared that Sean Strickland would cruise to a unanimous verdict when the fifth-round horn signaled the end of his UFC Fight Night 200 headlining matchup with Jack Hermansson.
It was quite the surprise, then, when it was announced that cageside judge Sal D’Amato submitted a 48-47 scorecard in favor of Hermansson. While Strickland still emerged victorious thanks to a pair of 49-46 tallies from judges Derek Cleary and Junichiro Kamijo, it was nonetheless a close call that should have been avoided.
While D’Amato had a dissenting view of the fight, all 21 of the unofficial media scorecards tracked by MMADecisions.
