Middleweight MMA Division Champion Crowned: Shamil Ramazanov Claims Victory at HFC
In the thrilling finale of the last Hardcore MMA match, "The Perfumer," Shamyl Ramazanov, squared off against Ubaidullo Tagirov, the organization's middleweight champion. Streamed live, this intense battle saw Ramazanov emerge victorious, with the judges' decision leaning in his favor—48-47, 49-46, and 48-47. However, Tagirov, the dethroned champion, vigorously disputed the verdict.
Even with Anatoly Sulyanov, the league's headman, sitting beside one of the judges who had scored a decisive victory for Ramazanov and witnessed his triumph, Tagirov remained unpacified. He was infuriated by another contentious decision, a recurring pattern in such events.
"What the bloody hell is this?" Tagirov yelled. "I owned the stand-up. I pushed him all over the bloody place. How could they give him the win after two rounds where he barely moved? I'll be back, and I'll bloody show them this was a mistake!"
Meanwhile, Ramazanov, the newly crowned champ, was elated with the result. He's likely to face an immediate rematch if Tagirov's camp manages to get the decision overturned. Even if the verdict remains the same, they'll likely square off once more in the cage before long.
MMA decisions often spark controversy due to subjective judging, lack of transparency, inconsistent scoring, weight issues, and controversial decisions[2][1][5]. While these problems aren't specific to the Ramazanov and Tagirov incident, they contribute to the debate about fairness and consistency in MMA judgments.
Tagirov, the dethroned MMA champion, expressed his displeasure after the controversial decision, vowing, "I'll be back, and I'll show them this was a mistake!" Despite the victory, Ramazanov, the perfumer in the sports world, might face a rematch against Tagirov if his camp successfully overturns the judgment. Even if the decision remains unchanged, a rematch is likely in the near future for both mixed-martial-arts fighters. With its subjective judging and inconsistent scoring, MMA remains debatable regarding fairness and consistency in judgments.
