UFC officials address 'missing judge' issue at UFC 204, camp asks for no contest

[1031]

I think an indication of how the general fan reacts is to ask them on the way into an arena at any next UFC event and ask them if they even know this missing judge thing happened.

I reckon less than 15% will know.

fair point.
If that kind of thing were to continue and escalate, at what point would it affect business, in your opinion?

They didnt do it on purpose, it's just terrible organisation. It's not regular or on purpose. Forget the conspiracy theories, it would be easier for the judge to be there and put the wrong scores in.

The problem is most events are in the USA, where it isnt on the UFC to organise this. So it's unlikely to have repurcussions on the UFC.

To affect the sport, one more time within 6 months I would say. Especially on a card where the main event has a close decision.
