"I thought the judges would give him (the win)" "I thought it could go either way, but I was blessed and the judges gave it to me. It could have gone his way or mine, and they gave it to me."
This is the second time Parke has felt the full wrath of the Brazilian judges in the lion's den.
He scored a controversial draw with Leonardo Santos in Natal in 2014, after having a point deducted without warning for grabbing his opponent's shorts. Meanwhile, the ref failed to call up Santos on illegally grabbing hold of the cage multiple times during the bout.
With this fresh controversy, the Northern Irish man vowed to never fight in Brazil again.
"Brazilians judges are a joke. I won this fight. I won the first and the third round for sure. I’ll never fight in Brazil again."
