Cruz criticized the refereeing of the Grasso-Shevchenko fight

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominic Cruz joined the ranks of fighters and pundits who harshly criticized the work of referee Mike Bell in the rematch between Alexa Grasso And Valentina Shevchenko.

Let us remember that Bell lost the final round to Grasso with a score of 10-8, as a result of which the fight was recorded as a draw.

"We're discussing Michael Bell's work, so we can say, 'Great, Michael, I don't understand what you saw that made you score 10-8.' What was it? I don't understand.

If you look at the rules for scoring 10-8, I don't know how Bell can explain it. There is no consistency here,” the MMA Fighting veteran quotes.

The women's flyweight title rematch took place on September 17 at UFC Fight Night 227 and ended in a split decision draw. Thus, Grasso retained her championship title.
