Rightfully so, the person who bought them got torched on Twitter, with the best response being, “The judge that scored it 49-46 bought them.”

Now, don’t get it twisted. There is nothing wrong with buying sports memorabilia; however, buying shorts from a fighter that controversially won the fight is just a little strange. Actually, it is bizarre.
UFC 275
Shevchenko is coming off a controversial split decision victory over Taila Santos at UFC 275 last weekend. While there are analysts and fans that question if ‘Bullet’ won the fight, she believes she won the fight no questions asked.
The flyweight champion has now defended her belt seven times, passing Ronda Rousey.
