When the hope of a billion people is lost because of a simple error, it might be better to take a second look at the situation. At the ‘Road To UFC’ season 3 semifinals, the fight between India’s very own, Angad Bisht and DongHun Choi has been called out by fans for being a robbery. Despite Bisht’s powerful jabs and on-point striking, DongHun Choi clinched the victory by a split decision. This judgment by the UFC has been pointed out by the Indian fans as they call out Dana White to intervene.

Before we jump into what happened at the match, let us provide a brief conclusion to what ‘Road To UFC’ is all about. This inten͏se t͏ou͏rname͏nt is whe͏re Asia’s top mixed martial arts prospe͏cts get the opportunity to ͏showcase their talent. It’s a͏ ͏pr͏oving͏ ground for figh͏ters ai͏mi͏ng to secure͏ a co͏veted U͏F͏C contract an͏d t͏est themselves against the w͏orld’s b͏est. This is an initiative by Dana White to promote top talents of lesser-explored regions in the UFC.

Well, the season 3 finale of the ‘Road To UFC’ witnessed a fiery clash between Angad Bisht and DongHun Choi. The Indian fighter started the fight with a strong right that cracked Choi as he started to leak from his nostrils. This followed by several heavy blows in the first round sealed the first round for the Indian fighter, but the South Korean came in strong in the second and third rounds as he threw several knockdowns at Bisht.

Despite South Korean fighter efforts to subdue Bisht, he kept his composure and controlled most of the match. Until the very last minute, the entire MMA community thought that Bisht won, but the results came in as a shock. Why? Well, that’s because DongHun Choi secured the victory by a split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).

This caused a huge uproar in the Indian MMA community, as they called out Dana White to intervene.

Fans call out Dana White for ‘Road To UFC’ injustice against Angad Bisht

The flyweight fighter gave his all to secure a place at the finale, but destiny wanted a different thing for the fighter. The results were so shocking that even popular MMA celeb, Nina Marie Danielle, had to comment about Angad Bisht’s victory, “Angad won! We all know it He will be back!”

Bisht threw a strong right hand at the start of the match, which made Choi bleed. This was the highlight of the event and a fan couldn’t help but admire that punch, “That Right hand is Electric.” A social media user believes that even the opponent gave up on winning until the judges announced their cards, “Even the opponent knew he lost until his coaches said something then he shouted screaming.” 

Furthermore, there is more discontent from the fans, “Angad got robbed.” This is not the first time that there was a mistake from the judges as even at the recent UFC 305 event, Judge Howie Booth was removed for the rest of the event after scoring Tai Tuivasa vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik 3-0 in favor of Tuivasa when Rozenstruik won.

This is just a simple example of what absurd judging might look like. Looking at this, a fan urged Dana White to have a second look, “Robbery man fask the judges.” Last but not least, Bisht got the love and support from the fans, “Respect to @angad_bisht fought like a warrior and I have no doubt he’ll be back stronger!”
