During his conversation with Joe Rogan, Max Holloway gave his opinion on his latest fight and said, “When I was in there, in my mind, I thought I won.

Joe Rogan was totally on Max Holloway’s side. He went on to slam the judges for their bizarre scoring methods. According to the veteran commentator, the ‘10-point must’ system “suc*s” as he referred to it as a boxing system. “We should not have the system. We (MMA) should have a more comprehensive system that recognizes us,” said Joe Rogan.

He further took a dig at the judges for not having any experience in Mixed Martial Arts field. According to Joe, UFC judges have no martial arts experience and they are just here after completing some courses. Thus, the promotion needs to fire them.

 “When you see some of these people that are judging, you know they’ve never done anything. They don’t have any idea of what’s going on, they just have a cursory understanding of fighting, and that’s not acceptable for the highest level of the game,” said Joe Rogan in his podcast.
