4. Oh dear freaking FSM, that was the worst judging I have ever seen

Not one but TWO fights ended in a majority decision draw, after both had had clear victors. And they both went the same way: one judge scoring it right, one actually scoring it for the loser, and the third scoring a draw.

It really makes you wonder if it is possible to bet on a draw rather than picking a fighter. Maybe not in Vegas, but somewhere else in the world. And if the presumably high payoff would justify buying off judges in a marginal state like Illinois.
