Khabib Nurmagomedov couldn't believe how one judge scored the UFC 302 main event heading into the final round.
The judges may not have been needed for the UFC 302 main event, but Khabib Nurmagomedov wasn’t pleased with how one of them had the fight scored heading into the final round.Last Saturday’s UFC card took place in Newark, NJ and was headlined by a lightweight title bout reigning champion Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier, who was attempting to claim undisputed UFC gold for the third time after he previously came up short against Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.
“The Diamond” gave Makhachev all he could handle before he was submitted in the final round, and although two judges had the champion comfortably winning after four rounds Chris Lee’s scorecard had things all tied up heading into the final frame.
The judges had a busy night during a UFC 302 card that only featured three finishes, but after Makhachev’s victory in the main event most of the conversation among fans has been centered on whether or not the 32-year-old should challenge for the welterweight title in his next fight.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
