After UFC Star’s Demand for FBI To Intervene, Cory Sandhagen Breaks Silence on Bizarre UFC San Antonio Judge Scorecard

UFC San Antonio saw one of the most controversial decisions made by the judges. The main event between Cory Sandhagen and Marlon Vera resulted in Sandhagen winning the bout via a split decision. However, the bout was fairly one-sided as  Sandhagen dominated. The scorecard read 50-45, 49-46, and 47-48. The point of controversy came from one judge who gave the bout to ‘Chito’, much to the surprise of the MMA world.

Hence, the aggrieved fighter has finally broken his silence over the issue. Moreover, the UFC bantamweight has a suggestion for the UFC and other promotions of MMA along with another UFC star.

Cory Sandhagen has a suggestion to make a Universal Commission

Cory Sandhagen recently appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. He broke his silence over the San Antonio decision wherein one judge gave the fight 48-47 to Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera, although the fight appeared to have been won dominantly by Cory Sandhagen.

Sandhagen said, “I have honestly thought about solving this problem for everyone.” He asked Helwani and other such personalities to take the idea ahead as he may not have the time or resources to do so.

The UFC bantamweight continued, “Okay so yeah the first thing that you have to do immediately you have to make universal commission. You have to have a bunch of people that are all on board of the same rules if we’re going to make this international thing.” Sandhagen gave the example of football players in this regard.

The 30-year-old also addressed that the commission and promotions may have a problem with this. He also asked the promotions to trust such a commission like they trust the state commission.

He continued, “then from there you can start building universal rules and regulations and criterias or adding two judges that aren’t cage side and another in a completely different room and because that right there would make some pretty interesting things happen right there so. or more open scoring or whatever but there 100 percent has to be a universal commission.”

Furthermore, another UFC star made a suggestion after the controversial fight.

Gilbert Burns also questioned the commission after UFC San Antonio

UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns also spoke about the issue of that has to be taken up by the commission rather than the UFC. Burns said in an interview, “I think those judges got to be investigated, you know. We need FBI on these judges because those judges may be working with the betting company, maybe doing something behind, getting a third person to bet… I think those guys are doing something crazy.”
