Fight fans may have to brace themselves after the opening bout of UFC 302 saw quite the controversial scorecard in a one-sided victory.

The early prelims for UFC 302 opened with a bout between The Ultimate Fighter alumnus Mitch Raposo and Andre Lima. While Lima committed a couple of fouls in the opening round to get a hard warning, Raposo put together little offence of note throughout the fight.

The score in Raposo's favor, however, was enough to get Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier, on the commentary desk for UFC 302, to openly criticize officiating and scoring of fights.

"I've really been an advocate for open scoring and more judges," Rogan said. "I think three judges is too few." He also said that "they should be ashamed" to produce a scorecard in favor of Raposo.

Daniel Cormier also echoed Rogan's sentiments, heavily criticising the judge with the errant scorecard - Dave Tirelli.
