UFC star Holly Holm told she was "robbed" after "terrible" judges decision

UFC fans think Holly Holm was "robbed" of a win against Ketlen Vieira after she lost a majority decision to the Brazilian on Saturday night.

One judge scored the fight in Holm's favour after five rounds, with the other two both seeing it 48-47 for Vieira. Holm landed 11 more significant strikes than Vieira across the fight and outlanded in four of the five rounds.

Vieira relied on her grappling to overwhelm the accomplished kickboxer and former boxing champion Holm, but she only completed one of her seven takedown attempts in the fight. Holm did a great job of escaping a standing rear-naked choke from Vieira in the second round.
