“They Just Want to Make Money” – Ebanie Bridges Left Angry About Elle Brooke vs. Paige VanZant Fight Result

Ebanie Bridges thinks the judges’ scorecards for Elle Brooke vs. Paige VanZant were “bulls***.”

Brooke sent VanZant tumbling to the canvas in the first round after connecting with a clean right hand, but the UFC veteran dusted herself off and got right back into the fight.

After five hard-fought rounds at the NRG Arena in Houston, Texas on Saturday night, the Misfits Boxing 15 main event went down on the scorecards.

One judge gave it to Brooke 48-46, a second official gave it 48-46 for VanZant and the third had it 47-47 as the cross matchup was declared a draw.

As a result, Brooke retains her Misfits Boxing middleweight title while the two women are now expected to face each other in the near future.

Former IBF bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges – Brooke’s mentor and training partner – had a ringside seat to the fight and was left furious with the result.

In a video uploaded to the Australian’s Instagram Story of her and Brooke in the locker room after the fight, Bridges said: “We’re here with Elle.

“Fuck, I broke it, I’m so proud of her. I think she won, I think the draw sucks.

“They just want to make money. They just want to make money because they want to see him again. Aw, baby! You’re the best.”

Brooke looked visibly disappointed when the result was read out, but she showed her class when handed the microphone.

“It’s one of those things where you have to revisit it,” Brooke said of the decision.

“Because in there you get hit, but you also hit.

“I don’t think I have enough experience to think ‘Yeah, I win 100 percent’

“But with the upset, I saw myself winning but I have to get back to it.

“I was just telling Paige, ‘We’ll have a big rematch! It’s perfect!'”

VanZant added: “Honestly, I said it was going to be a tough fight all camp.

“I knew how tough she was. I accepted the fight for a reason. I was excited. I watched her past fights.

“I knew it would be difficult. It is what it is. It sets up a perfect revenge.

“I signed a multi-fight contract for a reason. Looks like we’re going to do it one more time, I think in Dubai it looks like.

Despite PVZ’s insistence that a second fight would take place in Dubai, Misfits Boxing chief Mams Taylor has confirmed it will take place in the UK again.
