On the plus side, Weidman vs Rockhold will probably get a finish so she might be making some easy money.

I think the ufc encourage the picking of awful judges. They want finishes not decisions and what better way to go about that than make the fighters dread it going to the judges.

The UFC on multiple occasions have paid out win bonuses to losing fighters because company and public opinion so unanimously felt the scores were eggregious. I don't think they are deliberately choosing bad judges and then spending more money because of it.

Adalaide Bird judging a fight that will likely be a very technical battle on the feet and on the ground is just absurd to the point of comedy. I hope that somebody puts a "TATTOO = WEIDMAN" post it on her scorecard.

Realistically, she's probably not any worse than Sal D'Amato, who is judging the similarly technical Aldo vs. McGregor. Fortunately for those two at least, they have Junichiro Kamijo, who was the only judge mentally competent enough to realize Nam Phan beat Leonard Garcia the first time.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
As bad as this is, it's not as bad as when Marc Ratner sends Sal D'Amato overseas to judge fights on purpose. At least NSAC has the excuse of dumb bureaucracy and nepotism.

The only good judge is the lord god & he makes his judgement known by rewarding the faithful with success in their fights. The worst judge is Mike Judge, who's film Idiocracy was disturbingly classist.

Matt Hume had a system which kept him pretty consistent. While not perfect, at least he can backup his decisions afterward. That's the biggest piece that annoys the public anyway; when judges can't or don't explain their decisions.

When I think of bad judges, I think of three people.

Cecil Peoples - Noted hater of leg kicks. Probably able to shoot a hadouken because his ki is strong.
Adalaide Bird - Probably actually blind. The Bo Jackson of combat sports judging since she also fucks up in boxing.
Doug Crosby - Openly admitted to not following the Unifed Rules of MMA. Will probably end up murdered by Longo and eaten by Serra.

cecil peoples is a karate guy or something so he's usually pretty good when it's all stand up. just very terrible whenever a fight hits the ground. i'm pretty sure the leg kick thing is made up.

I've actually said this for ages; Peoples is good at judging standup he's just terrible whenever a fight goes to the ground. And yes, the leg kick thing is made up.
