Gross Point Blank with Josh Gross: A show about MMA

UFC 247 and the Carousel of Judging Nonsense

Listen on

Episode notes

Josh recaps a memorable UFC 247 and talks about Jon Jones’s razor thin victory over Dominick Reyes, which Josh scored 48-27 in Reyes’s favor, whether there should be an immediate rematch or not, Jones’s defensive brilliance, and laments the fact that the conversation after the event is about judging and commissions and rulesets, rather than the great fight itself. Plus, thoughts on how problems with poor judging can be avoided in the future, including a national accreditation process and boycotting commissions with suspect histories.
