Watch stunned UFC fighter Charles Jourdain’s shock when rogue judge rules IN HIS FAVOUR during defeat to Andre Fili
UFC fighter Charles Jourdain was left shocked after a rogue judge scored the fight in his favour.
Jourdain was beaten over three rounds by Andre Fili at the UFC's Apex Centre in Las Vegas.
But the featherweight was admittedly stunned as one judge ruled the fight his way, and after the scorecard was read out, he said: "Are you kidding me?"
Jourdain congratulated Fili post-fight, after a back and forth striking match.
Despite the win, Fili questioned the split-decision verdict while he called for a "big name" in the 145lb division in his next fight.
Fili said: "I was begging God. Man, I don’t understand [the split decision]. I really feel like I didn’t perform as well as I could have.
"I’m my own hardest critic. If you scored that fight for him, I don’t know what fight you were watching. Respect to Jourdain. He was telling me I won the fight.
"I was having fun out there and balancing that with listening to my coaches. You’ve got to find that balance between fighting smart, and then feeling it and having fun.
"I don’t want to have competitive fights. I want to blow people out of the water. I want to be dominant.

"This kid was really good. I really think Charles Jourdain is going to make a lot of waves in this sport.
";I want a big name. I’m tired of people looking at me like I’m just a regular UFC fighter.
"I want a big name next. I’m going to go back and talk with my team. A lot of guys just get on the mic and shout names. That’s not my style."
