Kai Kara-France losing to Amir Albazi via 'bullsh*t' split decision loss sparks huge UFC Twitter debate

The UFC saw yet another controversial result last night at UFC Vegas 74 in the highly anticipated matchup between Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi.

Entering the octagon after nearly a year on the sidelines since his TKO loss to Brandon Moreno at UFC 277, Kara-France was determined to fall back into the winning column. However, that didn't turn out to be the case as Amir Albazi was awarded a split-decision victory following a hard-fought five-round matchup.

Despite the matchup being close, Kai Kara-France seemingly had more success and was the more accurate fighter on the night. The controversial decision has sparked a huge Twitter debate as well. While the majority believes that Kara-France should've won the fight, some also believe that the fight was extremely close and could've gone either way.

Check out some of the reactions below:

"Aw man. I don’t agree with that decision at all. Kara-France won that, imho."

Kai Kara-France split decision: How did the New Zealander react to the loss?

While one would expect Kai Kara-France to be devastated following his controversial split-decision loss to Amir Albazi, that wasn't the case. Instead of dwelling on his loss and criticizing the judges, the 30-year-old took his loss on the chin and respected the scoring done by the judges.

While speaking about the result during a post-fight interview, Kai Kara-France spoke about how the judging can be subjective and said:

"This is sport, at the highest level it's the game of inches and I know I've said that before but it's subjective. It's what the judges are scoring, if they're scoring damage, if they're scoring control, and you know, aggression, all of these things."
