Dana White reacts to the controversial scoring at Noche UFC: Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko

Last weekend, at Noche UFC, Alexa Grasso retained the women's flyweight title after the judges' scorecards ruled the contest a split draw.

The bout was incredibly close and could have gone either way on the scorecards, but the result lead to much controversy. That was not necessarily because Grosso did not deserve to win, but for the way Mike Bell scored the fifth round of the fight.

Bell's decision to award Alexa Grass a score of 10-8 in the final frame confused almost everyone. The two other judges had scored the round 10-9, which seemed to be a far better assessment of the action.

The score of 10-8 also meant that Bell's scorecard read 47-47. Had he awarded Grasso the round 10-9 instead, then Shevchenko would have won via split decision.

Following this week's edition of Dana White's Contender Series, the UFC CEO appeared in front of the media. He was asked to share his thoughts on Mike Bell's fifth-round scorecard:

"When I found out that one of the judges scored 10-8, I'm like, this guy should be f***ing investigated for this. This is the craziest sh*t I've ever seen in my life. There's a seminar tomorrow with the athletic commission on 10-8 [rounds]."
