Torrez Finney continued his winning career start on Saturday evening and proved directly to Dana White at the UFC Apex.
The super-jacked middleweight competition is small for the division on 5'8 ″, but makes up for massive branchedowns and strength that makes him a nightmare for opponents. He was forced to go through the Contender Series of Dana White three times before he finally got a contract and debuted in Las Vegas.
Finney checked the fight with a wrestling version that was not at all fan -friendly, and with Michael Bisping criticized for comment. However, one judge scored all three rounds against him despite monstrous control time numbers.
The UFC debut of Torrez Finney ends with a split decision gain on Robert Valentin
On the way to UFC Vegas 105, Torrez Finney was a favorite with fans who found many was hard done during his efforts on the Contender Series. He landed two stop winds, but was forced to fight a third time by Dana White, who felt that he would be 'decimated' in the right UFC.
While the boss was not at the top to see how Finney made his debut – he competed in a Baccarat tournament at the MGM – his name was a key in the story. Although Finney won and had constant control time, he was divorced several times by referee Mike Beltran because he did not do enough.
His opponent Robert Valentin had a frustrating time to get away from the cage, but seemed to have been dominated for at least two rounds. However, that did not stop that Judge Tony weeks scored all three rounds for the former TUF finalist in a bizarre Scorecard.
However, it was not enough to influence the match, because Finney won 29-28 on the other two cards and scored his first victory under the UFC banner.
Fans want Torrez Finney to be cut from the UFC after debut profit
A victory in his debut was not enough for Torrez Finney to impress fans in Las Vegas, where social media demanded his head after performance. They thought it was a cowardly way to fight and called for his removal of the promotion even though he was unbeaten.
Controversial YouTuber MMA Guru wrote: “Torrez Finney is actually the biggest B– We've ever seen the UFC. I have never desperately tried anyone to avoid a fight for about 15 consecutive minutes. More divorces. He showed Merab as Prime Lawler who removed that coward from the sport.”
Dillon Danis also became involved in trolling, while he was kidding that Finney would be the next hunter that would land on the UFC schedule Tracker. “This is the reason that Torrez Finney is not signed until the 3rd DWCS fight,” wrote a fan. “Nobody wants to see this -.”
