Kizer told Cagewriter on Thursday that there are no issues (4:05 mark):

"These fights are very well-matched. It's incredible. Plus you only have three or five rounds at most so there's not a lot of room for variance. So you have one close round, that could make a big difference."

Kizer said there's always going to be issues where the outcome of a sport is subjective. He's pleased with ongoing effort by the judges to improve their knowledge and said competitive, close fights are a good thing for the sport.




This is the absolute worst part of the whole thing... The athletic commission doesn't even believe that there's a problem. He also said a while back that they had no room or use for Big John when he re-applied for licensing. It's really disgusting to see that these people are in charge of the sport.

It was put into their hands because they sanctioned other unarmed combative sports (boxing). This doesn't mean they know anything about MMA. They clearly don't. It's a sad state of affairs, and it's why I will personally not be contributing anymore until I see some change happening. To say that they have no power to put pressure on the commission to change is laughable. You may not pick the judges by hand, but you definitely do have the power to apply pressure.

Something has to change, I've been saying it for years now. The last couple of months have just pushed me over the edge. I can't contribute to this anymore.
