UFC 313 fighter who won controversial decision admits defeat – ‘He should have had his hand raised’

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

When considering again on UFC 313, it’s exhausting to not suppose principally about the primary card. The Gentle Heavyweight title altering fingers, Justin Gaethje’s superior battle with Rafael Fiziev, Mauricio Ruffy’s outrageous spin kick KO — these have been the large tales to emerge from Las Vegas final weekend.

Those that tuned in early for the “Prelims” might keep in mind Mairon Santos defeating Francis Marshall within the second combat of the night. It was a aggressive sufficient combat, however Marshall actually took over within the second half together with his wrestling and strain. He closed the combat as an enormous favourite on the reside betting odds, and all 13 media sources cited on MMADecisions scored the combat for “Hearth Marshall” as nicely. Sadly, two of the one three scorecards that matter went towards him.

Since Saturday evening, Santos has had time to rewatch the combat. In an admirable show of humility, the 24-year-old prospect admitted that his opponent deserves the victory.

“When the combat ended, I believed I gained,” Santos defined to InsideFighting. “However after watching the combat, I believe he ought to have had his hand raised, as a result of the combat was very shut. The takedown made the distinction. I didn’t know that he did so nicely within the putting. That’s my tackle the combat.”

The bout versus Marshall was Santos’ first since profitable The Final Fighter (TUF). He nonetheless has loads of time to shore up the holes in his sport, and hopefully, this troublesome combat helped him determine these areas. In fact, it’s a majorly unlucky for Marshall, who loses out on half his paycheck. Worse nonetheless, his place on the roster shifting ahead is unsure, as his general UFC file drops to 2-3.

Perhaps UFC CEO Dana White will take discover of the judging failure and hook him up?
