MMA world outrage of UFC 295 scorecard

With the victory over Tabatha Ricci at UFC 295, Loopy Godinez achieved a historic feat by becoming the first woman in UFC history to win four fights in a calendar year.

Her impressive streak began in April with a win over Cynthia Calvillo and continued with triumphs over Emily Ducote in May and Elise Reed in September. It culiminated in the recent victory over Ricci, who had her three-fight winning streak snapped.

Godinez reflected on the controversial scoring in the post-fight octagon interview, stating:

"I knew it was close. For sure, yeah, she’s a tough opponent. She’s (No. 10) for a reason. I’m super happy. To be able do four fights in a year and actually go through and win, it takes a lot of work. It takes discipline. It takes a great team. I recently did the move to Lobo, and I’ve never been happier with my career, with my life.”
