The Torrez Finney UFC beginnings were to remember, for better or for worse.
The triple competitor of the Contender series finally walked to the octagon on Saturday to launch the main map of the UFC Vegas 105 and its fight with Robert Valentin raised a few eyebrows, to say the least.
Finney’s resolved wrestling offensive did not do much to inspire his peers, some of whom quickly took a blow on social networks, but real controversy began after the end of the fight. The official dashboards were in favor of Finney via the shared decision, with a pair of scores 29-28 giving it the victory. Tony Weeks, the dissident judge, gave the three laps to Valentin.
“Make this sight judge,” wrote Corey Anderson on Twitter.

How do you mark this 30-27 for Valentin
I am not saying it was exciting, but there is no way that he won the 3 laps. # Ufcvegas105

Torrez Finney may be the first guy I saw spending 15 minutes in an MMA fight and that I did not launch a single punch. The man here making secondary quests for Guinness World Records
