Henry Cejudo Calls for AI Judging in UFC Following UFC 332

Published

The story

Following Natalia Silva’s unanimous decision victory over Wang Cong at UFC 332, Henry Cejudo expressed dissatisfaction with the official scorecards. While Silva secured the flyweight title with an advantage in striking and wrestling, two judges scored the fight 48-47, while the third scored it 49-46. Cejudo labeled the current judging system inconsistent and suggested that artificial intelligence would be more reliable.

Cejudo proposed that integrating chips into gloves could provide precise data for AI scoring. Conversely, Kamaru Usman argued against the use of AI, questioning its ability to accurately weigh punch volume against fight-altering impact. Usman maintained that the solution lies in hiring judges with professional combat sports experience rather than replacing them with technology.
