Joe Rogan blasts UFC 247 judge for ‘insane’ score as Dana White admits he thought Jon Jones lost Reyes fight – The Sun

JOE ROGAN slammed the "insane" decision to hand Jon Jones victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247.

The headline bout has come under fire from fans and pundits, with even Dana White claiming he thought Reyes won.

Jones retained his light heavyweight title via a unanimous 48-47 48-47 49-46 decision.

And Rogan was fuming at Joe Solis's score, which saw Bones win by three rounds.

The commentator and podcast host blasted: “I can’t argue about this enough. I can’t get angry enough.

"I’ve done it so many times. For anyone to think that was 4-1 Jon Jones, that person’s insane.

“They’re insane. Dominick Reyes put on a hell of a fight tonight. And to disrespect that performance by that kind of judging is insane.”

UFC chief White also cast doubts on the scoring as he claimed he thought Reyes was well ahead coming into the fifth.

He told TSN: “I had it 3-1 Reyes going into the fifth.

“I do [think Reyes won]. Joe Silva, our old matchmaker, had it a draw. And some of our other guys had Jones winning the fight.

"This thing was all over the map. But at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is none of us are judges. So it doesn’t matter how we had it.”

Fans are hoping Reyes will be given a shot at an immediate rematch after pushing the pound-for-pound king all the way.

And White added: "If everybody expected Jon Jones to walk through Dominick Reyes tonight, you don’t know enough about the fight business.

“I’ve been saying all week leading up to this fight is the problem with this fight is not enough people know how awesome Reyes is. Now you know.”
