For the second time in three weeks, the main event of a UFC show ended with a controversial decision in a close fight.
Because it was an ESPN + show with Paul Felder facing Dan Hooker, and not a light heavyweight title fight with Jon Jones, there wasn’t the outrage or questioning the nature of the MMA scoring system this week.
Like with Jones vs. Dominic Reyes, it was a close fight could be reasonably argued either way. Perhaps the difference is that in Jones vs. Reyes, there was the 49-46 scorecard and it was a unanimous decision for Jones, who most seemed to feel lost the first three rounds.
