Ultimately, Yadong lost each part of the fight against Vera, yet UFC judges still declared him as the “winner.” This, therefore, begs to question: precisely what motivated the judges of this fight to determine Song Yadong as the victor? Which specific standards did they use to declare Yadong as a winner?
It’s very apparent to just about everyone that something simply isn’t adding up here.
Backlash from UFC Fans, Social Media Users
Many fans and viewers of UFC maintain that judges ultimately robbed Vera of his rightful victory. As such, many social media users took to Twitter, expressing their displeasure towards the ruling against Vera.
