A UFC Judge Has Been Relieved Of His Duties Tonight After Delivering An All Time Bad Scorecard

Listen - I love Tai "Bam Bam" Tuivasa. I do. Jairzinho Rozenstruik kicked his ass tonight, though, and one judge named Howie Booth decided to just ignore that completely, and give every single round of the fight to Tuivasa anyway. 

It was such an egregious scorecard - seemingly showing so much homerism for Australia I wasn't sure if Howie himself was a kangaroo - that he has been PULLED from his duties judging the upcoming co-main event between Steve Erceg and Kai-Kara France and relieved of his duties for the rest of the night. I can't remember if that's happened before - but I LOVE it. 

Horrible judging is an epidemic across mixed martial arts (and boxing, as it has been forever) and the more these idiots are held accountable, the better they'll get. I'd love to know how that conversation went tonight, as well - "Hey that scorecard was so fucking dumb we're gonna have to ask you to leave the building. You have no idea what you're looking at." 

Hopefully we get to the point where they have to justify bad scorecards like that in the future.

Oh, and side note? Dan Hooker is fucking BACK. That fight against Gamrot was a hell of a scrap and he looked great. Plus, DC provided the line of the night during his walkout....

Co-main event up next!
