I don’t lost the fight to the China men I lost to the judges tonight. All my hard work to the fuckin drain, I can’t believe this horse shit tonight

When considering China as the potential hidden mastermind behind all this, it’s important to note Yadong’s prominence within the Chinese Communist Party. All things considered, it is not a stretch to believe that China might be secretly pulling strings behind the scenes.
If the UFC is, in fact, in the pocket of China, then this presents very real issues going forward. Competitors deserve judges that will make fair, accurate, and unbiased rulings. Thus far, multiple fights involving Song Yadong have proven that UFC still has a way to go before their judging standards are up-to-par.
