UFC News: Joe Rogan’s incredible rant at ‘insane’ UFC 247 judge for the way he scored Jon Jones vs Dominick Reyes fight
Joe Rogan was less than impressed with the judges at UFC 247, where Jon Jones defended his light heavyweight title.
The veteran UFC commentator took issue with one of the results on the early preliminary card and then in the headline bout.
Jones defeated Dominick Reyes by unanimous decision with two judges scoring the bout 48-47. The third gave it to Jon ‘Bones’ Jones 49-46, which Rogan labelled as 'insane'.
Following the fight, Rogan said: “That’s the same guy that gave Andre Ewell the decision tonight against Jonathan Martinez, which is just ridiculous.
“That was another fight that made no sense to any of us. It makes me angry. We’ve talked about it so many times.
“It’s less of an issue in some commissions that have dealt with combat sports and MMA for longer but I can’t argue about this enough, I can’t get angry enough. I’ve done it so many times.
“For anyone to think that was 4-1 to Jon Jones, that person is insane. You’re insane.
“Dominick Reyes put on a hell of a fight tonight and to disrespect that performance with that kind of judging is insane.”
