This Saturday (4), in a fight valid for the preliminary card of UFC Las Vegas 56, an unusual scene marked the result between Jeff Molina e Zhalgas Zhumagulov. After three balanced rounds of frank striking, the North American was surprised to emerge with his 'arms raised' in the judges' split decision.

Without believing in the victory, Molina turned his back on the announcement after Joe Martinez said that the fight would have been decided in a split manner and he already appeared frustrated with the possible defeat. Upon learning of the triumph, he expressed surprise at what had happened and returned to celebrate.
In the fight, Jeff managed to unleash his striking game and hit Zhumagulov, who, in turn, didn't let it go easy and also developed good strikes at close range. Therefore, after three rounds, there was uncertainty about the outcome of the third fight on the card.
Molina, with this, scores his tenth victory in a row – his third in the UFC. Professional since 2017, the North American has a record of 11 positive results and two negative results.
On the other hand, Zhumagulov suffers his fourth defeat in his five most recent appearances. The Kazakh has a record of 14 triumphs and seven setbacks, in addition to being at risk of being fired from the organization.
