I’m not sure what fight the judges are watching, but I had Bukauskas 2-1

OK DAD UFC. Bukauskas won all 3 rounds easily as he almost finished it 2 or 3 times. Oleksiejczuk advanced by hitting some decent shots in 3 rounds 2-3 times and Bukauskas didn’t even feel all but one of them. Bukauskas came close to finishing him off many times and he never got into trouble.

Another bad decision from the judges … 29-28 Bukauskas in the worst case. Perfect storyline for live scoring. If the fighters know how the judges are scoring, they can adapt mid-fight. # UFC260

Decisions like the one Bukauskas just experienced is the reason the UFC is falling apart for me. I’m tired of the fights that go to the scorecard. There must be more than 3 judges. You must have a clear understanding of punctuation. Does it have to be a 10 point system? # ufc260

I personally thought Bukauskas took that

He took shots and had better movement. Most of the time Michal went ahead and missed and Bukauskas made many of his shots after R1. Absolute joke

Bukauskas won #ROBBED

Importance matters, not just number. Bukauskas had it almost finished, but he was never in danger himself.

Should have gone 5-0 in the # UFC260 preliminaries. I was robbed in the Bukauskas fight
– Jeff Fox (@JeffFoxWriter) March 28, 2021
6-1 in the picks so far tonight, it only made Bukauskas wrong and is considered a bad decision by most. Three fights to go. # UFC260
