Scouring the scoring: Round 3 of UFC 265’s Bobby Green vs. Rafael Fiziev

There was one round of one fight that brought attention to the judging at UFC 265. That round was the third and final stanza of the lightweight bout between Bobby Green and Rafael Fiziev.

Two of the three judges, Sal D’Amato and Chris Lee scored the round in favor of Green. The dissenting judge was JJ Ferraro, who posted a long explanation why he scored the round in favor of Fiziev.

Bloody Elbow has made it a practice to review controversial or questionable scoring and this round, even though the correct fighter — Fiziev — won the fight, merited further review.
