Andrea Lee has called for the judge who was on his phone during the UFC 247 fights to be fired.

Lee lost a controversial split decision to Lauren Murphy at UFC 247.

Saturday’s UFC 247 event was a controversial one, with audience members, commentators and social media fans baffled by the way the judges scored many of the fights.

Andrea Lee lost a controversial split decision to Lauren Murphy on the preliminary card. One judge scored the bout 29-28 in her favor, whilst the other two scored it 29-28 and 30-27 for Murphy.

During her fight, commentators Joe Rogan and Dominick Cruz noted how one of the judges appeared to be paying no attention to the women in the cage.

“We’re looking at a judge that’s not even watching the fight…This is insane,” said Rogan during the fight.

“The judges just don’t even watch…They are looking down at the floor. Insane! It’s going to be tough for the fighters tonight to figure out how to win a decision.” Cruz added.

Several moments following Cruz’s comments, Rogan again commented “This is crazy. He’s still not watching the fight!”

Lee took to her social media pages on Sunday afternoon to voice her concerns, as well as calling for the judge in question to be fired.

“If anyone has video or pictures of the judge who was on his phone during the fights, please send them to me. I just think that judge should be fired, he should never have the opportunity to sit cage side and judge fights ever again, especially when there are plenty other judges who were better qualified and more deserving.” she said.
