Chito Vera Sounds off in NSFW Instagram After Being Robbed of Win Against Song Yadong
By Michael Luciano
Perhaps the most surprising result from the UFC's third card in as many weeks in Jacksonville was Ecuadorian featherweight Marlon "Chito" Vera losing a unanimous decision to rising Chinese star Song Yadong. Vera, who looked like the aggressor for the majority of this fight, sounded off on the decision on Instagram, as he continued to lob expletive-filled grenades at the judges for their decision.
Yadong might be the victor, but Vera gave him everything he could handle. Vera took Yadong down twice, all the while controlling the center of the octagon for longer, throwing more punches, and landing more significant strikes.
Not only did Vera look like the winner on TV, but he was clearly the better fighter when one looks at the stats for this fight. How did the judges miss this?
Not only was Vera given the loss despite better stats, but it was a completely unanimous decision. The judging last night has to be called into question after some really weird results.
