A controversial scorecard in the heavyweight fight between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Tai Tuivasa led to judge Howie Booth being removed from UFC 305 where he was actually scheduled to also work the co-main event.
While it’s not an unprecedented change, the removal of an official in the middle of an event is still unusual. Booth scored Tuivasa winning with a scorecard of 30-27, while the other two judges gave the fight to Rozenstruik with scores of 30-27 and 29-28 for the split-decision win.
