It’s Round 2 of a women’s catchweight bout between Jamielene Nievara and Stephanie Frausto on May 13 at Bellator 154, and I’ve already disagreed once with the judge sitting next to me. Brandon Saucedo, a guy who gets paid to judge MMA in California, sports a well-trimmed beard, a black suit and a background in MMA. He’s slightly elevated on a chair that sits just behind Frausto’s corner, so he’s not eager to explain his score the first time I ask. We’re close enough to the cage for a spritz of blood or sweat, and at this prelim bout in the cavernous SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., voices carry.
