Edson Barboza plans to appeal his controversial split decision loss<\/a> to Paul Felder that took place this past Saturday at UFC 242.<\/p>\n

The judges scored the contest 30-27 Barboza, 29-28 Felder and 30-27 Felder for a split decision nod for Felder. Many who watched the fight thought that it could have been scored 29-28 either way, with most media members actually scoring it for Barboza (via MMADecisions<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It seems like Barboza clearly won the first round 10-9 and Felder clearly won the third round 10-9. The second round could have gone 10-9 either way, for a 29-28 score for either fighter. The fact that one of the scorecards had it 30-27 Felder when it seemed like Barboza had easily won the first round was downright shocking to many fans when the decision was read.<\/p>\n

The decision also shocked Edson Barboza and his team. The leg kick assassin’s manager Alex Davis spoke to MMAFighting.com<\/a> and confirmed the Barboza team will be appealing the loss with the UFC, who handled commission duties for the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think that the fight was judged inaccurately,\u201d Davis said. \u201cThe fact that one judge gave it 30-27 Junior and one have it 30-27 Felder is a big indicator of their confusion. Our perception\u2014and to everyone we spoke with, everyone in the arena, every journalist and media\u2014the fight was 29-28 for Junior, who won the first two rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis also added that Edson Barboza and his team have the utmost respect for Felder. It’s just that they feel there was a mistake with the judging in this fight, and they have to do what’s fair for their fighter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t let this happen,\u201d Davis said. \u201cThese fighters put a lot of effort and invest their time to get up there to do what they do so we have judges making these type of mistakes and not being reviewed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think Junior won two rounds to one, but we wouldn\u2019t complain if it was 29-28 Felder. Nothing against Paul Felder, he\u2019s a great fighter, a great person, his whole team, but I think Junior did a great fight and we\u2019ll contest this.\u201d<\/p>\n
