Justin Ledet was not amused by his UFC-Pittsburgh win being scored a split decision

Justin Ledet won what appeared to be a one-sided fight against Zu Anyanwu at UFC Fight Night 116. But when octagon announcer Bruce Buffer announced the scores after the fight went the distance, Ledet seemed shocked to hear the first judge score it for Anyanwu.

That shock did not appear to dissipate even after the next two judges scored the fight for Ledet, giving him the win via split decision.

In fairness, Ledet (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) did dominate most of the fight, picking Anyanwu (14-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) apart from distance and taking very little damage in response. By the end, Anyanwu’s face displayed plenty of evidence of Ledet’s skill, and his body language as he waited for the decision was not that of a man who felt like he might have won.

If anything, Ledet’s facial expressions only mirrored what many in the audience must have been feeling, as the announcement was met with scattered boos despite the right man being named the winner.

But even as his hand was raised, Ledet seemed to be wondering the same thing the rest of us were – what fight was that judge watching?
