Sean Strickland bashes judges after split decision loss
Middleweight Sean Strickland is not happy with the judges following his split decision loss to Jared Cannonier in the UFC Vegas 66 main event.
Strickland was visibly frustrated when the scorecards were read in the UFC Apex on Saturday. On Sunday, “Tarzan” posted a video to Instagram where he strongly criticized the judges and called the decision a ‘robbery.’
“I just want to ask a judge when you go back and look at the data do you ever feel bad for robbing guys because you don’t know a damn thing about fighting?? Hmmm anyways thank you everyone.. Coaches, fans and haters! Onto the next,” Strickland wrote.
In the video, Strickland admitted to being a ‘sore loser,’ and continued to criticize the judges.
““I’m a f*cking sore loser,” Strickland said in the video. “Hat’s off to Jared, but you have judges that don’t know how to f*cking do their job. You actually look at the scorecard and you look at the significant strikes and you look at how many times I wobbled him. You have experts in the field come up to me and say, ‘Yeah man, I don’t know how you lost that one. You landed way more. The scorecards should say it.’ Anyways, I’m going to shut the f*ck up now. Get off my soapbox.”
