Dana White blasts judge who scored UFC 302 fight for Paulo Costa: ‘It was f*cking nuts’

NEWARK, N.J. – Dana White doesn’t want to see judge Dave Tirelli anywhere near a big fight again.

The UFC CEO was flabbergasted that Tirelli scored Saturday’s UFC 302 co-main event in favor of Paulo Costa (14-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC), who lost a split decision to Sean Strickland (29-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) at Prudential Center.

Tirelli also had an odd scorecard for the opening fight of the night between Andre Lima and Mitch Raposo. Tirelli had it 29-28 Raposo, while the other two judges scored it 30-27 for Lima. White thought Strickland clearly beat Costa.
