Ryan Benoit also posted some scores from others that suggested he defeated Tim Elliott in his latest UFC fight

For the second event in a row, the UFC judges were called out after a result.

Tim Elliott and Ryan Benoit met in the co-main event of Fight Night: Kattar vs Ige, and it was a crazy fight. Elliott certainly brought out the madness with some moves and hits while Benoit more than matched up against his Flyweight rival.

While the fight was close to call, the UFC judges called it a unanimous win in Elliott’s favour. They were called out in the Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway fight, and Benoit was not happy at how things took place.

The American first posted a small update saying that he won the fight on Twitter:

“I won that s***”.

He retweeted updates from several MMA journalists who all claimed that Benoit had edged ahead of Elliott 29-28, and then took a shot at the judges too.

He posted scores from several outlets that claimed he won the clash. Benoit hit out at the judges and some fans who had lost money betting on him:

UFC in a spot of bother

Many stars have also called out the UFC judges in recent weeks, and this one was one of those fights that saw the judges being slated on social media.

Benoit was visibly upset at losing the clash could not hold his disappointment as Elliott’s hand was raised.

The 30-year-old Benoit is now 10-7 in his MMA career and had lost the previous fight too. The American has three wins in his UFC career so far, but it probably should have been four after this outing.
