Tanner Boser questions MMA judging qualifications ahead of
\nJhonata Diniz fight at UFC Edmonton<\/h2>\n

Boser faces Jhonata
\nDiniz<\/a> on Oct. 17 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Ahead of
\nthe bout, he questioned whether judges without fighting experience
\nare equipped to score MMA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey get way more right than they do wrong,\u201d Boser said at
\n
\nUFC Edmonton<\/a> media day. \u201cBut it\u2019s just that when they get
\nsomething wrong, it affects somebody\u2019s life in a very, very
\nsignificant way. It is what it is. It\u2019s just an imperfect system\u2026
\nWho are the judges? Were they fighters? Because if they are not,
\nyou don\u2019t really know your logic. Were they boxers? Because that\u2019s
\nkind of different too\u2026 But a lot of the time the judges are just a
\nguy. You want me to sit there and score figure skating? I don\u2019t
\nknow what I\u2019m watching. That\u2019s kind of what is going on with some
\nof them\u2026 Every now and then there is one score wrong where my mom
\nwatching at home knows who won that fight. And you know who won
\nthat fight; I know who won that fight. How the hell did this guy
\nwhose job it is didn\u2019t know who won that f*cking fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boser lost consecutive decisions to Andrei
\nArlovski<\/a> in 2020 and Ilir Latifi<\/a>
\nin 2021. He accepted responsibility for the Arlovski defeat but
\nbelieves he deserved the decision against Latifi. Boser is coming
\noff a stoppage loss to Gokhan
\nSaricam<\/a> that ended a two-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n
