Be Sure to FINISH!

Well it was clear again tonight while I was watching the Finale for the Ultimate Fighter that you can never leave anything up to a Judge or a referee.

It never seems to amaze me how bad judges can be at times. Trust me, I do understand that humans tend to error from time to time, but how can it be that a judge watches a complete different fight than what everyone else  was watching. It is the job of the judge to be skilled and exactly that, judging a FIGHT.  The Nevada Athletic Commission should be embarrassed.

Fight Commentator, Joe Rogan, hit it right on the head when he indicated that the Judges for the Garcia vs. Phan fight were merely incompetent. The judges of this fight robbed Phan of a victory. With the crowd voicing their displeasure with the outcome Joe conducted his post fight interviews with both fighters.

There is a lot to be said when the fighter that wins looks surprised by the decision. However, as Garcia stood in the middle of the ring next to the referee he had a defeated look on his face until he heard his name called out as a winner by split decision.

Well, I guess that is why as a fighter you have to finish the job before the bell rings and never leave it in the hands of the judges.
