There was a minor uproar online following the UFC 265 following the Rafael Fiziev vs. Bobby Green fight. While Fiziev won the bout via unanimous decision, the 30-27 score from one judge raised eyebrows as most fans and pundits thought the correct call was 29-28, which was the score the other two judges assigned to the fight turned in.
The judges who scored the final stanza for Green were Sal D’Amato and Chris Lee. The dissenting judge was JJ Ferraro.
Rarely does a combat sports judge take the time to explain their decision-making process in the aftermath of a controversial score, but Ferraro did just that.
