Ketlen Vieira claims she felt Holly Holm tap, criticizes her ‘antigame’

Former UFC champion Holly Holm is more known for her dynamic striking. But on Saturday at UFC Vegas 55 against Ketlen Vieira, “The Preacher’s Daughter” fought at a slower, grinding pace, pushing her opponent against the fence and controlling her for stretches.

Ultimately, it was Vieira who was awarded the split decision win to mark the biggest win of her career. And according to her, Holm’s chosen strategy may have played a role in how the judges saw the fight.
