In the most exciting fight of Ultimate Fight Night, Nam Phan outslugged the brawler Leonard Garcia. Phan at least won 2 rounds, maybe 3. He even dropped Garcia in the second round. But the fight went to the judge and Garcia got the split decision. People started yelling “bullshit” after the decision. I thought I was overreacting when I heard the decision but everyone in the cage couldn’t believe it, including Garcia and his coach, Greg Jackson. Jackson didn’t even want to congratulate his own fighter.
UFC President Dana White acknowledged that the judges were wrong and still gave Phan, the winner of the night bonus, consisting of $30k. Now Phan can buy a new Civic!
