Hence, he is on MMA fans’ crosshairs, and they voiced their frustrations on Twitter.

A fan called out the judge, “Sal D’Amato showing up every week on that bulls**t.”

“Nah Sal D’Amato. You gotta GOOOO,” a fan wanted D’Amato to leave.

“48-47 Hermansson is indefensible. C’mon Sal D’Amato. What was he watching?” fans were not having the incorrect result.

“So does Sal D’Amato have to report to anyone on why he scored it for Jack? Would be very interested to hear his reasoning for giving him that score on the cards. Judge accountability should be a thing. #UFCVegas47,” Daukaus tweeted.

A similar scorecard issue happened in December where Angela Hill won the fight in the eyes of many, but lost on the scorecards.
