“And People Say Boxing Judges Are Always Bad”- UFC World Calls Robbery After Holly Holm’s Split Decision Loss to Ketlen Vieira UFC Vegas 55

UFC Vegas 55 saw former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm and bantamweight #5 Ketlen Vieira take on each other for a shot at the title currently held by UFC standout Julianna Peña. However, the fight did not go as per fans’ expectations and the result certainly did not.

The fight was a clinch-heavy showdown and Holm looked a little slow from the get-go, as expected of an athlete who has entered the 40-year-age space. ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ showed heart in the fight and was able to get momentum on her side from round 1 but escaped a near-decisive rear-naked choke in round 2. Although Holm was able to knock down ‘Fenomeno’ in round 4, the decision went in favor of the latter, who was awarded a split decision win.

Fans were particularly unhappy with the decision from the judges at UFC Vegas 55 and made it known via Twitter.

A reporter didn’t welcome Holm’s split decision loss after scoring it in her favor himself.

Longtime MMA reporter Aaron Bronsteter shared some amazing insights into the matter which shows what kind of fighter Holm is and the legacy she has built for herself in the MMA space.
