Loughran suggests muting Bisping to resolve scoring disputes
Caolan Loughran is unhappy about the scoring controversy from his fight at UFC London. He faced Nathan Fletcher in a much-anticipated match at the O2 arena on Saturday night. The two have a history, with Fletcher having beaten Loughran in their amateur days. This fight was particularly tense due to their rivalry and training at opposing gyms. Loughran won the decision, but many, including Fletcher's teammate Paddy Pimblett, were upset with the outcome. The fight featured close rounds, with Fletcher clearly winning the second. The final round was debated, as Loughran seemed to score enough points, but Fletcher pushed hard at the end. After the fight, Loughran spoke out on social media. He suggested fans rewatch the fight while muting Michael Bisping's commentary, which he felt was biased. He declared, "2-1 Don. Very easy fight to score. Just mute Bisping.” This victory was crucial for Loughran's UFC career. He was 1-2 since joining the promotion, and this win likely saved his job, especially considering the rivalry with Fletcher and his earlier confrontation with Pimblett.
