Judges Gonna Judge: Did Davey Grant win every round against Adrian Yanez at UFC Fight Night 198?

Welcome to “Judges Gonna Judge,” where our MMA Junkie staff panel revisits the most controversial decision that occurred over the weekend.

This week, we take a look at Adrian Yanez vs. Davey Grant, the opening main card bout at UFC Fight Night 198 which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

After an exciting three rounds, Yanez was awarded the victory via split decision, earning two 29-28 scores from judges Eric Colon and Junichiro Kamijo, while Tony Weeks scored the bout for Grant with a score of 30-27.

The official scores caused quite a commotion on social media, and even Yanez himself was baffled by the scorecard in favor of Grant. It seems most believe Yanez was the winner, but Weeks’ scorecard was the center of attention. Was there even an argument for Grant winning a split decision? Beyond declaring him the winner, is there justification for Weeks giving Grant every round of the fight?

MMA Junkie’s Matthew Wells, Nolan King, and Danny Segura put on their judging hats and break the fight down round by round.
