Check out Ali Abdelaziz's tweet regarding Douglas Crosby below:

Crosby was one of three judges to award Paddy Pimblett a controversial unanimous decision victory over Jared Gordon at UFC 282. However, it was not his only controversial ruling of the weekend.

The previous night at Bellator 289, Crosby was involved in another controversy, as he became the first judge in mixed martial arts history to give all five rounds to the fighter that lost the fight.

While it is unclear if Crosby will face any consequences for his controversial scoring, there have been plenty of calls for the judge to be investigated by fighters, fans, and mixed martial artists.

Furthermore, there have also been calls for Crosby to publicly explain his rulings.
