Here's the match video of Casey O'Neill vs Roxanne Modafferi from last night's UFC show in Houston. This fight is at Flyweight. As you probably heard, this was Roxanne's retirement fight. I didn't think there was any way she could win this fight. So far Casey has been a wrecking machine in her three UFC wins. And she trains with Eric Nicksick at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. I thought Casey won the fight easily 30-27. But Roxanne could have folded and didn't. But the fight was never in doubt except for the one judge who scored it 29-28 for Roxanne. So what happened? Whenever the UFC goes to Texas, the commission appoints some local judges who have questionable qualifications. This guy Robert Alexander judged four fights on last night's prelims. He messed up two of them. Aaron Bronsteter of TSN posted his bio on Twitter. Alexander is an aerospace engineer who is on the appeals commission of the Texas commission. In other words, he isn't qualified to judge anything, never mind a UFC show. So that's it for Roxanne. We will discuss her career in more detail on this week's podcast. I would like to see Casey mix in some body shots with her already formidable arsenal. If she had done that in this fight, she might have got that finish she wanted. Enjoy the video!
