Apparently, judge Mike Bell owned up to his mistake, not publicly, but privately.
Bell was under heavy public scrutiny this past September after he scored the fifth round of the Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko rematch a 10-8, a score that led to the UFC women’s flyweight fight to end in a split draw. Many, including Shevchenko – who felt she won the fight – wanted answers from Bell as to why he scored the fifth round a 10-8, as the vast majority of people disagreed.
John McCarthy, a former veteran referee, who’s been working as a commentator for Bellator in recent years, said he spoke to Bell and Bell admitted he was in the wrong.
