A cage grab cost Mayra Bueno Silva the win at UFC Vegas 20, which took place Feb. 27 in Las Vegas. And even though she recognizes her mistake, “Sheetara” still doesn’t think referee Jerin Valel was entirely fair throughout her flyweight fight with Montana De La Rosa.
Silva says she grabbed the cage out of “instinct” when De La Rosa went for a takedown, so “I don’t think I have much to complain.” The point deduction led to a 9-9 first round on all the scorecards and a 28-28 draw for two judges.
