Adalaide Byrd, a judge whose controversial scoring in the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fight in 2017 drew widespread criticism, is once again at the center of a scoring debacle. At UFC 310, Byrd’s split decision in favor of Ciryl Gane over Alexander Volkov sparked outrage among fans and analysts alike, with many calling it a "robbery."

The fight was a close contest, with Volkov seemingly controlling significant portions of the bout, including a third-round takedown and solid top control. Meanwhile, Gane had his moments in the striking exchanges but struggled in grappling sequences. A significant number of fans and fighters believed Volkov won, pointing to his big moments in the fight.

The result had massive implications for the heavyweight division, as Gane's victory took him closer to title contention, while Volkov’s four-fight win streak was snapped. Fans took to X, criticizing Bryd's scoring and wrote:

"Adalaide Byrd has to get fired. She is a dumb c*nt who is synonymous with robberies. UFC judges have to FITFO. Justice for Volkov!!! #UFC310"

"Adalaide Byrd is the corrupt judge who has a track record of horrible judging. Where are all the people who do deep dives on Twitter to call these people out? They took away life-changing $ and opportunities from Volkov."
"Did I just hear Adalaide Byrd attached to a scorecard?! Why is this bit*h still allowed in public? #UFC310"
"I wish I had Adalaide Byrd's job security. The Vegas commission can’t say with a straight face that they care about the fighters while continuing to let her judge fights."

This isn't the first time Byrd’s judgment has been questioned. In the 2017 Canelo Alvarez vs. GGG fight, her 118-110 scorecard in favor of the Mexican boxing star led to widespread criticism, with analysts like Teddy Atlas accusing her of being out of touch with the fight’s reality. After the backlash, Byrd was temporarily stood down from her duties.
