It’s been a while since we’ve had a controversially scored main event, so I suppose we were due for one at UFC Vegas 55. Ketlen Vieira took a razor thin split decision over former champion Holly Holm, much to the chagrin of the MMA Twitterverse.
It’s hard to know what Holm could have done differently. She spent long periods of time in control against the cage and had a sizeable advantage in terms of pure volume. Vieira did land the harder strikes, producing the more memorable moments in the fight, but most feel like there wasn’t enough between the spaces for her to get the job done.
