Twitter reaction: Cathal Pendred’s controversial decision victory set the internet alight

Cathal Pendred finished out the preliminary card with a unanimous decision victory that was universally questioned due to the fact that his opponent, Sean Spencer, appeared to have it in the bag. And tweeters were incensed.

 

Cathal has a heart to admire but two judges gave every rd to @PendredMMA . Don't see the sense in that. #UFCBoston Pendred 3-0 in the UFC. — Gareth A Davies (@GarethADaviesDT) January 19, 2015

The Cathal Pendred judges want to congratulate the Indianapolis Colts on their big win tonight — John Pollock (@iamjohnpollock) January 19, 2015

@PendredMMA how much did you have to slip to the judges before that fight? #BrownEnvelope — Tadhg Kirby (@tkirby8) January 19, 2015

@MMAjunkie these judges should be drug tested! That was horrible @PendredMMA got his ass kicked! Looked slow and sloppy @CMPunk beats him — DrclamPuncher (@drclampuncher) January 19, 2015

I wanted @PendredMMA to win but he didn't deserve that victory. Spencer dominated with significant strikes. #UFCBoston #UFCFightNight — Kristian Soden (@KristianSoden) January 19, 2015

But Fuck it get the Irish wins any way we can #FightingIrish #ironjaw @PaddyHolohanMMA @PendredMMA @TheNotoriousMMA — Shane Ryan (@ShaneD_R) January 19, 2015

Pretty sure @PendredMMA needed to engage more, didn't take advantage of his ground game. Don't like to say it but he got lucky with that one — will quinn (@mrwillquinn) January 19, 2015

Spencer-Pendred joins the ranks with Phan-Garcia 1, Beebe-Easton, Oliveira-Gholar and other immortal MMA judging travesties. Tell a friend. — Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) January 19, 2015
