Here's the fight video of Joselyne Edwards vs Lucie Pudilova from last night's UFC show in Kansas City. This fight is at Bantamweight. Joselyne is 27 years old from Panama but she trains at Kings MMA in Huntington Beach, CA. She's 3-2 in the UFC. She is mainly a striker. And she missed weight for the second straight time. Lucie is 28 years old from the Czech Republic. This is her second time around in the UFC. They brought her back because she is now training at SBG Ireland and coach John Kavanagh has made significant improvements. So this was a case where all three judges were local Kansas City guys working their first UFC show. One was a newcomer. He had only judged two fights previously. The other two used to to do Invicta shows when they were doing Kansas City regularly. Both have been inactive since 2018. I thought Lucie won the first two rounds with ground control. But all three judges scored round one for Joselyne and round two for Lucie. The rounds are similar so I don't know why they were scored differently. I thought Joselyne won round three so I scored the fight 29-28 for Lucie. Joselyne won by split decision. After the fight, I speculated that these guys must have worked for Invicta as the judging for those shows was pretty bad. When I checked their records on MMA Decisions, that turned out to be true. How did I know that? Honestly, the UFC needs to be tougher on ACs supplying unqualified judges. This is getting to be a habit. It should not be acceptable. BTW, this fight was the only controversial decision in the whole show. Enjoy the video!
