A flyweight bout between Davina Maciel and Tatiane Couto ended in controversy at Super Fight League’s event in Mumbai, India, on Sunday night.
Couto quickly dropped Maciel with a right hand, then eventually took her back and won via TKO. The whole fight lasted less than two minutes, but Couto clearly connected on at least three illegal punches to the back of the head. In fact, the referee simply stood there and watched while Maciel clearly couldn’t continue fighting.
“Brutus” Couto was declared the winner, but Maciel doesn’t think it was fair.
”They say you can’t hit the back of the head,” Maciel told MMA Fighting.
