NORMAN PARKE CAME out on the wrong side of a split decision after his bout with Francisco Trinaldo at UFC Fight Night 67 in Brazil last night.

The official scorecards read 29-28, 28-29, 29-28, giving the home favourite the split-decision win.

“Brazilian judges are a joke,” Parke said afterwards according to MMA Junkie. “I won this fight. I won the first and the third round for sure. I’ll never fight in Brazil again.”

Parke fought in Brazil in March of last year and was unhappy with the judges’ decision then too as he drew with Leonardo Santos.

Meanwhile, in the main event, Carlos Condit returned with an impressive win over Thiago Alves, which came via TKO (doctor stoppage) at the end of the second round.
