USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, May 24: Ketlen Vieira enters top 5 at women’s bantamweight

BAD MMA News — Wed, 25 May 2022 02:44:39 +0000

The women’s bantamweight division was shaken up after a controversial split decision in the main event of UFC Fight Night 206. Ketlen Vieira squeaked by Holly Holm after five rounds of back-and-forth action, claiming a split decision victory over the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion. The fight was incredibly close, with both women having their moments throughout the fight. However, when it was all said and done and the scores were read, the result did not sit well with many, including Holm, who thought her work in the clinch sealed the win. Vieira’s strikes appeared more impactful when in space, earning her the nod on two of the three judges’ scorecards. After the win, she moves up to claim the No.

Jackson Wink MMA, the home gym of former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm , doesn’t agree with her split decision loss to Ketlen Vieira and has let it be known. Holm (14-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) was edged out by Vieira (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 206 main event, a decision that has sparked outrage and opinions on what the judges’ criteria for scoring actually is. All three judges agreed on the scoring of every round except the deciding third, which two judges gave to Vieira. For that, Jackson Wink has issued a statement on Instagram calling for the judges to face consequences and questioning the validity of judging in general. “Judges need to be held accountable for making mistakes, just like everyone else is held accountable, penalized, and punished for wrong doings,” Jackson Wink said

A big misunderstanding has fueled the ‘Holly Holm was robbed’ crowd | Opinion

BAD MMA News — Mon, 23 May 2022 17:28:32 +0000

The moment Ketlen Vieira was announced as the winner over Holly Holm at UFC Fight Night 206, Twitter went off in disagreement, with the dreaded R-word being tossed around so casually, which seemingly has become a thing whenever there’s a close main event or title fight these days. Even Holm suggested she was robbed after dropping a split decision by scores of 47-48, 48-47, 48-47 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. She didn’t use the R-word, but she also didn’t have to. She flat-out said “I thought I won the fight” and “I don’t feel like it was a question.” It was a question, though. That’s how we ended up with Vieira declared the winner.

UFC prospect Chase Hooper in no rush to the top: ‘The O’Malley approach is always a great one’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 22 May 2022 21:49:22 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Chase Hooper feels no need to aim for the big dogs, at least not yet. The 22-year-old UFC prospect doesn’t want to rush his career, as he notched another win under the UFC lights this Saturday. Hooper (11-2-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) stopped Brazil’s Felipe Colares in a third-round TKO on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 206 . The victory marked Hooper’s third win and finish in the UFC since joining the promotion in December 2019. Despite looking good and picking up a big win on Saturday, Hooper is not keen to single out any opponent and doesn’t see fit to make any major leaps in his career at the moment. “I’ve never been one to call people out,” Hooper told reporters at the UFC Fight Night 206 post-fight press conference.
