KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UFC on ESPN 44 cageside commentary crew of Brendan Fitzgerald, Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping were utterly shocked by Joselyn Edwards getting the split decision nod over Lucie Pudilova.
“We don’t have a lot of time to waste, but that is as bad as I’ve ever seen,” Fitzgerald said on the ESPN+ prelim broadcast when Pudilova (13-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) was awarded 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28 scorecards in the women’s bantamweight bout with Pudilova (14-8 MMA, 3-6 UFC) at T-Mobile Center.
Cormier could not believe what he had seen either, after Pudilova used grappling to control the first round and majority of the second before getting reversed late in frame. The third was most competitive at all, with both women striking.
