“I really felt like I won the fight” Holly Holm was left puzzled by Ketlen Vieira's split-decision victory in Saturday's main event at UFC Fight Night 206
While it wasn't the most thrilling of performances, Brazil's Ketlen Vieira picked up one of the biggest wins of her career with a split-decision result over former titleholder Holly Holm and may soon be challenging for the UFC's women's bantamweight title.
Four of the fight's five rounds were scored exactly the same by the three cage-side judges, leaving the third as the only result in question and the swing frame in deciding the contest In the key third frame, Holm was able to rack nearly three minutes of control time according to UFCStats.com, earning the nod from judge Sal D'Amato, while Mike Bell and Derek Cleary seemed to favor the more immediately impactful strikes, with stats showing Vieira scoring 23 significant blows and earning their cards, while Holm answered with 18.
All three judges leaned Holm in the final frame, but it was too little, too late on the cards, and Vieira took home the split-decision result, 47-48, 48-47 and 48-47.
