Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Gabriella Fernandes vs Carli Judice

Here's the fight video of Gabriella Fernandes vs Carli Judice from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Gabriella is 30 years old from Brazil. She trains at MMA Masters in Miami. She went 3-0 in LFA before losing her first two UFC fights. She's a striker who lacks endurance. Carli is 25 years old from Lafayette, LA. Her coach is former UFC fighter Aaron Phillips. She lost to Ernesta Kareckite by split decision in Contender Series. The UFC decided to hire both of them. This is Carli's UFC debut. She is 3-1. Though I think both fighters are flawed, they put on a good show and won the $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus. The first two rounds were similar. Gabriella started out like she was going to knock Carli's head off. But Carli hung in there and by the end of both rounds, Gabriella ran out of gas. I thought Gabriella won both rounds 10-9. Gabriella was completely out of gas in round three. So Carli won the round 10-9. So I scored the fight 29-28 for Gabrielle. Two of the three judges scored it the same but Adelaide Byrd was the third judge. She is notoriously bad and she gave Carli round one and scored the fight 29-28 for Carli. So Gabriella won the fight by split decision. Gabriella needs to do something about her endurance or she won't get far in the UFC. Carli is durable. She can take a beating. But that won't get her anywhere in the UFC. So I don't think either fighter is very good. But at least this is a pretty good fight. Enjoy the video!
