Juliana Velasquez wants a rematch and the result of her fight against Liz Carmouche at Bellator 278 to be overturned.
Velasquez was defending her flyweight championship against the former No. 1 contender in Carmouche on Friday night. The ex-champion was doing well until she was taken down in the fourth round by the challenger, who immediately got into a top crucifix position and dropped elbows. Referee Mike Beltran saw Velazquez could not defend herself and stopped the fight, much to the chagrin of the Brazilian and her team.
Fans and pundits were in agreement that the stoppage seemed fairly early.
