MMA Junkie’s 2023 Robbery of the Year: Joselyne Edwards def. Lucie Pudilova

BAD MMA News — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 00:53:54 +0000

Commentators were left in disbelief when judges awarded Joselyne Edwards the win over Lucila Pudilova . Edwards defeated Pudilova by split decision in their catchweight bout at UFC on ESPN 44 in April – a decision which was debated by many. All 15 media members who logged in their scores on MMA Decisions scored the fight in favor of Pudilova, with two even having it 30-27. Pudilova scored a takedown just over a minute into Round 1, but wasn’t able to mount too much offense in top position. With less than a minute remaining in the round, Edwards popped back up and made Pudilova pay with a barrage of punches on the break. Considering that Edwards spent the majority of the round on her back, Pudilova should have been awarded the opening frame

Former featherweight champion Max Holloway held serve as the division’s top contender by winning a unanimous decision against Arnold Allen this past Saturday in the UFC on ESPN 44 headliner. The result continued to prove that, at 145 pounds, it’s champion Alexander Volkanovski, Holloway and then everyone else is behind them. But as we know, Holloway is 0-3 against Volkanovski, which leaves Holloway in a very particular situation since a fourth title fight seems highly unlikely.
