UFC Vegas 54 saw a crazy start to the prelims fight between women’s flyweights, Andrea Lee and Viviane Araujo. However, it was the corner work from Andrea Lee’s side that had the UFC world shocked.
In the first round, Andrea Lee got an incredible combo that sat down Viviane Araujo to the mat. However, the firework of a round saw Araujo come back, keeping her composure and sticking to the basics.
Even Lee was getting tagged from Araujo and at the end of the first round, both fighters were looking at a tough two rounds ahead.
However, in Lee’s corner, coach, Tony Kelly, appeared to say, “That’s what they’re going to do, they’re dirty f*cking Brazilians, they’re going to f*cking cheat like that.”
This saw massive criticism from MMA media members, UFC fans, and fighters and took the attention away from the actual fight.
