Vinc Pichel Scheldt UFC Mexico City judges after controversial loss
It was a back and forth a fight between Garcia and Pichel. Garcia quickly started against Pichel, but Pichel Foreign Garcia with a considerable margin in round 2.
In round 3, Garcia and Pichel exchanged large strokes, but the fight went the full three-round distance. After the fight, Garcia got the nod on all three score cards to win a unanimous decision.
Two jury members scored a shutout for Garcia (30-27 x 2), while giving him the nod with a score of 29-28. Two of the three jury members did not give Pichel the second round, despite the fact that it landed considerably more volume.
It wasn't long before Pichel responded to social media, and he is not happy.
In a post-fight statement to X, Pichel claimed that he earned the nod at UFC Mexico City.
“Someone calls the police I have been robbed!
“Just see that you have to get a finish to beat a Mexican in Mexico, even when he was born in the United States,” Pichel posted with the Side-by-Side fight statistics.
Many of the followers of Pichel agreed that he should have gotten the nod on the score cards. The 42-year-old Pichel urgently needed a victory after back-to-back crooked defeats for Ismael Bonfim and Mark Madsen.
Now the Pichel schedule is possible in the uncertain after UFC Mexico City, and he demonstrably earned the kink on Saturday against Garcia.
Just show that you have to get a finish to beat a Mexican in Mexico, even when he was born in the United States.

UFC Mexico City Prelims contained a rare blunder of the legendary broadcaster
Garcia vs. Pichel was not the only remarkable event during the UFC Mexico City Prelims. Octagon broadcaster Bruce Buffer had a rare blunder when announcing the winner of a fight, and a star was born in the form of a Cameroonian hopeful who earned a wild knock -out.
UFC Mexico City delivered a nice evening with fighting, even though Joe Pyfer versus Kelvin Gastelum was canceled on hours of cancellation. Pyfer withdrew due to a disease that he suffered from after the ceremonial weighting on Friday.
Austin Hubbard vs. Marquel Mediros, the kick -off fight of UFC Mexico City, also had a number of main screens on the score cards. Coegeiros walked away with a decision victory despite the late rally of Hubbard.
As far as Pichel is concerned, he has been a lightweight pillar in the UFC since his promotion debut in January 2014. He fought like Roosevelt Roberts, Jim Miller and Anthony Njokuani during his career.
