It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to judge a UFC fight and that’s probably a good thing.<\/p>\n

Roxanne Modafferi competed for the final time as a professional MMA fighter at UFC 271. She went toe-to-toe with undefeated prospect Casey O’Neil. The bout went the distance and while Modafferi didn’t make things easy for her opponent, the fight looked to be in O’Neil’s favor.<\/p>\n

Two of the three judges, Ivan Guzman and Kerry Hatley, scored the fight for Casey O’Neil. Rob Alexander was the lone judge who gave the bout to Modafferi.<\/p>\n

Of the 19 MMA media members accounted for on MMADecisions.com<\/a>, none of them gave Modaferri a single round.<\/p>\n

Rob’s 29-28 score in favor of Modafferi was widely panned online and the only saving grace is that he was overruled by the other two judges<\/a>. Given this egregious score total, one might be surprised to know that Rob Alexander is an actual rocket scientist (h\/t Aaron Bronsteter<\/a>).<\/p>\n

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that Casey O'Neill won that fight, but in fairness, the judge that scored it for Roxanne Modafferi is an actual rocket scientist. pic.twitter.com\/WvgKSwtFWZ<\/a><\/p>\n
