In the MMA world, a controversial decision can have far-reaching consequences beyond just the outcome of a single fight. It can significantly impact the entire division and the fighters involved. Fans saw something similar at UFC Vegas 74 when Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi faced off.

Despite an impressive performance by Kara-France, the judges ruled the fight in favor of Albazi. The split decision was highly controversial and the world started immediately raising questions about it. Evidently, the decision did have an impact on the UFC flyweight division rankings, and it did not sit well with fans and fighters.

The aftermath of this fight had a ripple effect on the UFC flyweight rankings. Amir Albazi, who was ranked below Brandon Royval prior to the bout, climbed four spots to surpass Royval in the rankings. This sudden shift in position caused frustration for Royval, who reacted to the news on Twitter.
