"I thought I won every round. I was surprised. I had it 30-27, so I thought it was weird that he got scored two rounds. He was pushing me back and taking shots, and I stuffed every shot. I was landing all the clean shots, and he was missing a lot. I had him all busted up, I was hitting him with a lot of things."
"So it was very weird, the scorecards, but they always are. I'm just thankful for the win."
Flyweight Charles Johnson earned a split-decision victory over Bruno Silva in the UFC Vegas 114 main card opener. Johnson started slowly but gained momentum as the fight progressed, ultimately landing cleaner and more consequential strikes. Judge Anthony Maness scored all three rounds for Johnson, while judge Mike Bell awarded two rounds to Silva. Johnson expressed confusion over Bell's scorecard, believing he dominated all three rounds with a 30-27 score. Despite the split decision, Johnson remained grateful for the win, which improved his record to 2-2 in his last four fights following a previous knockout loss.
