In a fight that will be talked about for a long time, not just for how it was scored by the judges, but for how it was officiated, UFC 208’s main event crowned a new champion.

Germaine de Randamie (8-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) became the promotion’s inaugural women’s featherweight titleholder with a unanimous decision win over former bantamweight champ Holly Holm (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) on Saturday. The three judges scored the fight 48-47 for de Randamie across the board – though only two of their cards matched up with each other.

The fight also had controversy for how referee Todd Anderson handled things in a pair of key moments. At the end of the second round, de Randamie drilled Holm with a punch that clearly came after the bell. The punch staggered Holm, and de Randamie was warned. But after the third round, again de Randamie struck late – with two punches that came in after the horn. But rather than taking a point away, Anderson chose merely to warn the Dutch kickboxer again.

Had Anderson taken a point away, the result of the fight would have been a draw – and his decision to let things stand will be debated plenty by MMA fans and observers.

UFC 208 took place Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
