In one of the most interesting events of the night, judge Howie Booth was removed from the panel for the co-main event of UFC 305. During the heavyweight bout between Tai Tuivasa and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, most people felt there was no need for judges. However, the fight went the full distance and Booth scored the fight in favor of Tuivasa (30-27), much to the surprise of many.

Rozenstruik won the fight by decision, but Booth’s score was not honored by the promotion. He was immediately removed from the co-main event bout. During the post-fight press conference, Dave Shaw shared the details of the decision.

UFC manager reveals exact reason for firing judge Howie Booth

During the post-fight press conference, Shaw had some stern advice for Judge Booth. He said: “The idea was probably not worth keeping him busy for the rest of the evening. I think everyone has to hold themselves to high standards. It doesn’t matter if I don’t do my job or you don’t do your job. It’s good to sit on the bench for a while and think about the work and try to get back on track next time.”
