Dana White slams UFC 334 majority draw: 'Clearly Kevin Holland won the fight'

UFC CEO Dana White publicly condemned the majority draw recorded in Kevin Holland’s welterweight bout against Uros Medic at UFC 334, calling the outcome “absolutely insane” and insisting Holland clearly deserved the victory.

The decision raised immediate eyebrows given that Medic had a point deducted during the contest for repeated low blows — yet two judges still scored the fight 28-28, producing a majority draw that left Holland without a win on his record.

White revealed he was unaware of the result until after the event, only learning of it when his son texted him in disbelief. “My son, one of my sons is flying here when the whole airspace got shut down and he got stuck in Cincinnati,” White said. “He texted and said ‘how the f*ck did Kevin Holland lose that fight?’ I went, Kevin Holland [lost]? I didn’t even know he lost the fight. Because there is no way he lost that fight.”

White suggested the scoring error stemmed from a procedural mistake by one of the judges. “So what had happened, from what I understand, the judge took the point away on the wrong [scorecard],” he said. “That decision is absolutely insane to me. I don’t know how. I’m embarrassed to even tell you what happened to me tonight. Clearly Kevin Holland won the fight.”

White did not confirm whether the UFC intends to offer Holland any additional compensation to account for the disputed result, leaving the veteran welterweight to absorb a draw that most observers — including the promotion’s own chief executive — believe should have been recorded as a win.

The scorecards are now official and cannot be overturned, meaning Holland’s record will carry the majority draw regardless of the widespread criticism directed at the judging.
