The scoring of the light heavyweight championship bout at UFC 86 has come under some fire -- mostly everyone besides the judges felt the bout was much closer than the numbers indicated. Not taking anything away from Forrest Griffin -- who shocked the world last night with his upset of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson -- but it didn't seem like he won the bout in such convincing fashion. In fact, according to Dave Meltzer, those in press row were split between a close Griffin win and a draw. Regardless, Griffin earned the improbable win ... even though he was visibly not so sure himself of the victor when Bruce Buffer was reading the results.
