With the recent UFC 275 card done and dusted, some fans thought that the judging could’ve been better. Especially in the case of Valentina Shevchenko’s fight against Taila Santos. The judges awarded Shevchenko the victory, but fans had mixed reactions. Santos also bashed the judges in a new interview.

Santos appeared on the new episode of ‘MMA Hour With Ariel Helwani’. The two discussed a cluster of topics, and in one segment, Santos explained what she thought of the fight after a re-watch.

She said, “I believe that I won the first three rounds upon that first watch. But let’s be honest, I didn’t really watch it scoring, so, you know, there might be some bias to my judgment. But I think I did enough for the first few rounds to win it.”

Santos then criticized the judges of her fight. She added, “On the fourth round, I did get a takedown and get a little bit of control there, but you know, considering one of the judges didn’t even give me first round, you know. How can we even understand what’s going on in their minds?”
