Torrez Finney Wins UFC Debut Amid Controversial Judging

Torrez Finney made a notable UFC debut at UFC Vegas 105, defeating Robert Valentin by split decision despite a controversial performance that drew criticism. While Finney dominated the grappling exchanges, his lack of significant offense led to mixed reactions from fans and fighters alike, with some calling for the judge who scored all rounds for Valentin to be fired. Finney's control was evident throughout the fight, but he struggled to land effective strikes, raising questions about his strategy. Despite the win, social media backlash suggested that many felt his fighting style was unsatisfactory. This fight followed Finney's arduous journey through Dana White's Contender Series, where he earned his UFC contract after multiple attempts. Ultimately, Finney's victory was overshadowed by the contentious judging and his unimpressive fighting style.
