“You absolutely make me sick” - Henry Cejudo demands UFC judge Mike Bell to retire after controversial scoring decision

Henry Cejudo urged that UFC judge Mike Bell should retire after the controversial scoring decision at Noche UFC.

This past Saturday, Alexa Grasso retained her UFC flyweight title in a contentious split draw against Valentina Shevchenko in the main event of Noche UFC.

The bout was a frenetic back-and-forth affair that had significant moments for both fighters over the course of 25 minutes. When the dust settled, two judges scored the bout 48-47 for either fighter, while the third had it a 47-47 draw.

However, many expressed surprise at the 47-47 score given by cage-side judge Mike Bell, particularly for seeing Round 5 as a 10-8 in favor of Grasso. Sal D'Amato scored the fight in favor of Shevchenko, while Junichiro Kamijo had it for Grasso. Bell's controversial decision stirred debate among fans and pundits of the sport, leading to speculation that it was an attempt to help Grasso retain her title.

In a recent video shared on X (formerly Twitter), former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo publicly voiced his disapproval of Bell's judgment:

"Is MMA really turning into boxing? What's going on with this 10-8 round in the fifth for Alexa Grasso? Mike Bell you absolutely make me sick. You should retire from judging because you don't know absolutely anything. I have Alexa winning rounds two and five and that's it."
