UFC President Dana White sees a clear victory for Corey Sandhagen, who had to settle for a split decision due to referee Joel Ojeda, who surprisingly defeated Marlon Vera.
“At this point, I was like, ‘What the f***?’,” the head of the organization told a post-UFC on ESPN 43 press conference. “Were you surprised? It was possible to give 5-0 and 4-1, but a separate decision? Wow, these things are really scary.”
“Sandhagen looked incredible. Amazing footwork, sideways movement, takedowns – he did it all. It was not a separate decision. Today he dominated the world number three and secured himself a very good position.”
“Chito, in my opinion, looked slow even against Dominick Cruz until he caught him and knocked him out. So I waited for the final rounds and even the corner said to him, ‘We’ve got two rounds to finish this guy off. You have to win early'”
Recall that the judge Joel Ojeda gave Marlon Vera rounds from the third to the fifth, while Chris Lee saw the advantage of the Ecuadorian only in the third five-minute period, and Saul D’Amato gave all the rounds to Cory Sandhagen.
