After eight rounds together in a UFC octagon, it’s still incredibly hard to separate UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes and a woman who was thus far proven her toughest challenge, Valentina Shevchenko.

The pair’s long-awaited rematch served as the headlining bout of Saturday’s UFC 215 event at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Conventional wisdom stated that Nunes (14-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) would hold the advantage early, while Shevchenko (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and her superior cardio prove dangerous late. In practice, Nunes seemed to favor a measured approach over the course of 25 minutes, holding the center of the cage throughout the fight and capitalizing on a few late takedowns to take home a narrow split-decision win.

Afterward, Shevchenko expressed her extreme displeasure with the scores, questioning how two of three judges came to the conclusion that Nunes deserved to retain her title.

Check out the picture above to see how – with all three judges actually scoring the fight a little differently. Tony Weeks was the only judge to side with Shevchenko, giving her rounds 2, 3 and 5.

Sal D’Amato had it for Nunes, giving her rounds 1, 3 and 5, while David Therien reached the same 48-47 score for Nunes but gave the champ rounds 1, 2 and 4.

Nunes now holds a pair of wins over Shevchenko, taking home an easier-to-score unanimous decision over the striking specialist at UFC 196 in March 2016.
