Kevin Holland is leaving UFC 334 with a majority draw on his record when the vast majority o anybody watching his fight believes he should be walking away with a victory over Uros Medic. That now includes UFC CEO Dana White.
The bizarre decision was handed down despite Medic actually getting a point deduction for repeated low blows but still two judges had the same 28-28 scores to make the fight a draw. Obviously, White vehemently disagreed and he was shocked to find out Holland didn’t win when he first
heard about the decision.
“So what had happened, from what I understand, the judge took the point away on the wrong [scorecard],” White said after the fight was announced as a draw. “That decision is absolutely insane to me. I don’t know how. I’m embarrassed to even tell you what f*cking happened to me tonight but I got all these people here tonight business wise, and I’m talking to everybody whatever. Clearly Kevin Holland won the fight.
“So my son, one of my sons is flying here when the whole airspace got shut down and he got stuck in Cincinnati. He texted and said ‘how the f*ck did Kevin Holland lose that fight?’ I went, Kevin Holland [lost]? I didn’t even know he lost the fight. Because there is no way he lost that fight.”
Unfortunately, the judges still delivered the majority draw rather than the win for Holland, who goes home without the victory on his resume.
White didn’t say if the UFC plans to pay Holland any additional salary based on the result or not but he obviously believes the veteran welterweight should be leaving with the win.
Either way, the scorecards are now official and Holland has to live with the majority draw after most believe he should have gotten the nod after three hard-fought rounds.
