Ariel Helwani shared his opinion on the controversial decision that took place when Marlon Chito Vera faced off against Cory Sandhagen last Saturday night as well as the horrible officiating in the state of Texas.

Ariel Helwani is a Canadian born combat sports journalist. In his two decades of experience he’s covered promotions like UFC, Bellator, Pride, and many more. His large popularity in the sport is due to his hard hitting questions, and professionalism he brings to every interview. He is without a doubt the face of combat sports journalism.

Bottom line- Ariel knows what he’s talking about.

When Marlon Vera faced off against Cory Sandhagen in the Main event of UFC Fight Night, fans expected a clear cut unanimous decision win for Sandhagen after he dominated the fight. However, that was not the case as one judge scored the fight for Marlon.

Fans, experts, and Ariel were fuming about the decision.

Ariel posted a video to his Instagram account going off on the judges and referees in the state of Texas. The main problem Ariel had is that a referee who made a terrible call in a smaller MMA promotion the previous night was then a judge for the UFC main event the next night.

Judging continues to be an issue in the UFC and if this doesn’t change fast fans are going to start rioting.

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, time to make the change UFC!
