UFC CEO Dana White has voiced his strong discontent with the controversial split draw decision made in the main event of Noche UFC, which took place last weekend. The fight in question featured a highly anticipated rematch between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko for the UFC flyweight title.
During a press conference for the Contender Series, Dana White expressed his frustration with the judge’s decision that led to a draw between Grasso and Shevchenko. White particularly criticized a judge who scored a round 10-8 in favor of Grasso, calling for an investigation into the matter.
“When I found out that one of the judges scored it 10-8, I’m like, this guy should be investigated for this,” said White. “This is the craziest decision I’ve ever seen in my life.”
White revealed that he had spoken with the Nevada Athletic Commission about the judge in question, Mike Bell, who scored the 10-8 round. According to White, the commission assured him that Bell wasn’t a bad judge but had made a mistake.
However, White expressed doubts that Bell would ever face the media to address questions about his scoring, highlighting the often limited accessibility of UFC executives to the press.
