Fans and Henry Cejudo Slam Dana White Over UFC Controversy

-

The opening fight of UFC Vegas 104 was packed with spectacular performances and thrilling back-to-back finishes. From stunning knockouts to consecutive Kimura submissions, the event was nothing short of a masterclass. But can any event truly end without controversy? Maybe not, as the fight between Alexander Hernandez and Kurt Holobaugh sparked a major controversy, with UFC judges once again at the center of fan outrage.

The UFC Apex contest between Alexander Hernandez and Kurt Holobaugh started with both competitors exchanging kicks along with 1-2 combinations. Holobaugh positioned himself at the center aiming to apply pressure on Hernandez as they initiated their clash. Nevertheless, Hernandez responded to these kicks with his strikes. In the last round, Hernandez went for a takedown yet found himself ensnared in a guillotine choke applied by Holobaugh; fortunately for him, he managed to escape due to the sound of the buzzer signaling the conclusion of the round.

Following a tightly contested opening stanza, both combatants left everything they had in the cage. Holobaugh attempted to dominate with striking against 'The Great Ape,' but could not assert control. Hernandez’s takedowns were like an Achilles' heel for Holobaugh, thwarting his efforts to build up steam. Regardless of Holobaugh’s determination and eagerness to secure victory, he ultimately succumbed when Hernandez emerged victorious via unanimous decision.

The official scores were (30-27, 29-28, 29-28). When the judges revealed their scorecards, spectators could hardly fathom what had just happened, particularly because Holobaugh dominated the opening round, nearly securing a submission against Hernandez. Following the decision being declared, supporters turned to their X accounts to express their views.

A new judging dispute emerges for Dana White at UFC Vegas 104 as fans respond.

Previous title holder in both bantamweight and flyweight divisions Henry Cejudo turned to his X account to address the scoring mistake as he posted, 30-27 for Hernandez at UFC Vegas 104 is absurd. This isn’t the first instance of the UFC facing issues with judging mistakes. In recent UFC events, there have been several contentious outcomes—whether due to judge scores or referee calls—such as at UFC 313, where Alex Pereira’s team contested his unanimous decision defeat against Magomed Ankalaev.

In addition, another irritated supporter stepped forward to share their thoughts, I apologize, did he mention 30-27 for Hernandez? Wow! #UFCVegas104 #JudgesGonnaJudge. A significant judging mistake occurred during UFC 313 when Marion Santos was incorrectly awarded the win over Francis Marshall. Upon revisiting the bout, Santos concluded that Francis Marshall should have been declared the victor instead.

Another social media user asserted that the scoring by one of the judges is just horrendous, 30-27 Hernandez really showed out at #UFCVegas104 At UFC Vegas 103, Charles Johnson faced Ramazonbek Temirov, and their bout was clouded by allegations of bad officiating after Temirov won the match even though Johnson had tried to dominate through striking. Following the unfavorable outcome for Johnson, Joaquin Buckley expressed his thoughts via his X account under the username @XHandle. Just got hit with some tough news upon hearing the judges' decision, but that's exactly when you should maintain your focus and aim to complete every attempt.

Last but not least, a fan believes that Alexander Hernandez did win the fight but the scoring was absolutely biased, 30-27 Hernandez appears to be an unfavorable scorecard. However, I believed he emerged victorious in the match.

As mistakes in judgment become more frequent during promotions, will Dana White Will he take action, or just step aside and allow the commission to manage it? Please share your opinions in the section provided for comments below.

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
