"Dana White, cut him" - UFC Fight Night winner gets lectured by fans for defending bizarre middleweight record

A fighter's UFC debut has sparked reactions from the MMA community worldwide. While many bashed the individual for his performance, others argued it shouldn't be such a huge deal.

The person in question is Torrez Finney, who faced Robert Valentin in a middleweight bout on the main card of UFC Vegas 105. The fight night event took place this past weekend at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In the hard-fought three rounds, Finney was unable to inflict any significant damage but was successful in nullifying Valentin's attacks. The 26-year-old kept his opponent at bay through his wrestling prowess.

In the end, Finney was declared the winner via a split decision, which upset many MMA fans. The judges scored the contest (29-28, 27-30, 29-28).

Notably, Finney made a unique record with his win at UFC Vegas 105. He landed fewer meaningful strikes than any other decision winner in UFC middleweight history. During the post-fight press conference, 'The Punisher' looked back on his lackluster performance, saying:

''I would say it's a weird performance. That was a dud...and heck I felt way worse than this going into a fight...we got to grow from it and that's one of those things that I'm going to do. I'm going to grow from this.''
