Liz Carmouche finally got her hands on a major MMA title on Friday at Bellator 278, but it didn’t come without controversy.
Carmouche (17-7 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) claimed the women’s flyweight title from Juliana Velasquez (12-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) with a fourth-round TKO in the headlining bout in Honolulu, but the finish came on the heels of what was widely believed to be an early stoppage by referee Mike Beltran.
There was an outpour of outrage from the MMA community after the finish, and for more, check below for the top Twitter reactions to Carmouche’s Bellator 278 title iwn.
