Both Kevin Holland and Uros Medic likely were surprised to see scorecards Saturday, but for different reasons. And it seemed both were content to know Holland was about to win a decision.
Then Bruce Buffer announced the scores. Despite the fact he lost a point for a low blow, Medic got a 29-27 from one judge on the UFC 334 main card at Madison Square Garden, and the point deduction took him to 28-28 on the other two cards for a majority draw.
Holland's potential surprise initially was because Medic managed to see the end of the fight after multiple choke attempts seemed to have him close to finished in the first. And Medic? He'd never been to the judges in his career, and only into the third round once before.
Medic had a rally in the final 15
seconds of the fight, but largely appeared to be thrown off by Holland's ability to tie him up in grappling exchanges after takedowns – the first of which in the opening round seemed to tweak Medics' right knee.
When Medic stood back up with 14 seconds left in the first round, Holland gave him a look of a bit of bewilderment. He had just spent dozens of seconds working on three attempts at the D'Arce choke he's so adept at, and Medic managed to survive to see a second round. Despite the submission attempts, Medic actually won the first round from one judge, which is how he got to his 29-27 scorecard.
The second was marked by a pair of low kicks by Medic. The first was early; the second came with 100 seconds left in the frame and was much cleaner of a low blow. Holland lobbied referee Marc Goddard to take a point from Medic, then made sure to use his full allotted time to recover, perhaps with some gamesmanship while also having plenty of conversations with the ref. At the end of it all, Goddard took the point – which the presumption by most was that he'd wind up with a 10-8 round. But the round was Medic's, instead, and it ultimately led to kiss-your-sister status.
