UFC 112 Judge Douglas Crosby Embarrasses With Petulant Act Following Scoring Of B.J. Penn v. Frankie Edgar

As the shock over Anderson Silva’s unprofessional behavior in his middleweight title defense against Demian Maia the MMA community has started to turn it’s attention to the other big news coming out of UFC 112: B.J. Penn losing his lightweight championship to Frankie Edgar.

As I watched the fight it felt that I was watching a surprisingly close fight but one that was still going in B.J. Penn’s favor. So, when the official scorecards were read and I heard scores of 50-45, 49-46 and 48-47 all for Frankie Edgar, it was a shock. The 50-45 and 49-46 scorecards in particular stood out as it means that one judge scored all five rounds and one judge scored four of the five to Edgar.
