Salt Lake City – UFC strawweight Iasmin Lucindo scored a big victory over Marina Rodriguez at UFC 307 on Saturday night which may should push her much higher into the rankings.
“I really don’t know actually what position I’m going to be in the rankings,” Lucindo told reporters including Cageside Press through a translator at her post-fight scrum.
“I try not to choose fights, I didn’t choose Marina. I didn’t choose Karol (Rosa)…actually I did. The fight before I did call her out, but you know what whatever the boss says, whatever he puts in front of me, I’m going to fight.”
Lucindo (17-5) took the win by split decision which, if you looked on social media, there was confusion as to why it wasn’t unanimous. It was a trend that went on for the entire card with confusing scores, some pretty bad decisions, and it looked like the judges though the fight with Rodriguez was much closer than most thought.
“I was back there, but so focused on my fight, I only watched the fight a little bit. I don’t know about the decision. Anything can happen when it goes to the judges. I knew in my heart that I wont he fight, but you never know,” she said.
“When it goes to the judges it’s not your decision anymore. Anything can happen, but I felt good about myself.”
