Cathal Pendred and Sean Spencer When the third round came to a close at Sean Spencer ’s bout with Cathal Pendred at UFC Fight Night 59, there was a sense of dread expressed by fans and media members on social media. While it appeared Spencer had earned a clear victory, Pendred had the crowd behind him in a sport that has been witness to far too many cases of terrible judging. So, while disappointed, few seemed shocked when the judges not only awarded the fight to Pendred, but did so by a wide margin. Spencer (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) earned the victory in the eyes of all 16 media scorecards tracked by MMADecisions.com , most awarding him all three rounds. But, the judges saw it 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 for Pendred (16-2-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC). Days after the loss, Spencer still can’t see any way that he lost the fight.
