Marion Reneau plans appeal of sketchy decision loss to Ashlee Evans-Smith

The UFC women's bantamweight contender plans on appealing her controversial, split decision loss to Ashlee Evans-Smith from UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy on Sunday in Pittsburgh with the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission.

"As I look at it now, I'm kind of disappointed," Reneau told MMA Fighting. "I'm kind of disappointed that somebody is not owning up to their mistake. Because that's what I believe it was. I believe they confused us, in some way shape or form."

Reneau won the first round rather clearly. She rocked Evans-Smith against the cage with a right hand early on and landed hard punches after that.
