‘Judges need to be held accountable’, Holly Holm’s team rails against officials after loss at UFC Vegas 55

Ketlen Vieira managed to score her second win in a row over former UFC champions this weekend when she took a split decision against Holly Holm. The fight, which happened in the main event slot at UFC Vegas 55, was a close affair with many viewers scoring in favour for Holm.

Despite what many fans and media members thought, two judges scored the fight 48-47 for Vieira. The other judge had it 48-47 for Holm. The win will likely catapult Vieira into the UFC’s bantamweight title picture. The loss stalls Holm’s attempts to work towards a sixth title fight.
