Whichever way you see it, there’s no doubt Santos gave Shevchenko the toughest fight of her championship run (which now sits at seven title defenses, a new record in women’s MMA).

Henry Cejudo uploaded a video of him watching the decision, capturing our reaction when the 49-46 scorecard went Shevchenko’s way.īooooooooo!!! (The judges not the fighters, that fight was amazing)- Angela Hill June 12, 2022Īs usual, when we discuss judging and scoring, there are two sides to the argument. The outrage and confusion was widespread across mixed martial arts (MMA) Twitter, with UFC fighters reacting just as strongly. The third judge, Clemens Werner, handed in a 49-46 scorecard for Shevchenko. Judges one and two had the fight split 48-47 between Santos and Shevchenko. None of that mattered in the end to the third and deciding judge sitting ringside. Santos controlled Shevchenko through the majority of their five-round title fight, taking her back multiple times, locking in a body triangle, and nearly submitting the dominant champ with a rear-naked choke (watch highlights here). And that’s the reason it’s so gut-wrenching for many fans to see her seemingly robbed of a winning performance in their women’s Flyweight title fight. Nobody gave Taila Santos much of a chance to beat Valentina Shevchenko coming into UFC 275, which took place last night (Sat., June 11, 2022) inside Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.
