Charles
Johnson believes he won every round convincingly against
Bruno
Silva. 

Flyweight veterans Johnson (19-8) and Silva (15-8) opened the

UFC Vegas 114 main card action on Saturday at the Apex in Las
Vegas. Johnson initially seemed hesitant and unable to find his
range against Silva. However, “InnerG” rallied back as the fight
progressed and found his momentum in the latter rounds. Johnson
eventually earned a split-decision victory, which many believe
could have gone either way.

However, Johnson believes he should have earned a clear, unanimous
decision victory. While judge Anthony Maness scored all three
rounds in favoor of Johnson, judge Mike Bell
gave two rounds to Silva. Johnson found Bell’s scorecards “weird,”
as he believes he evidently landed the more consequential
shots.

Confused But Thankful

“I thought I won every round,” Johnson said in a post-fight
interview with the UFC. “I was surprised. I had it 30-27, so I
thought it was weird that he got scored two rounds. He was pushing
me back and taking shots, and I stuffed every shot. I was landing
all the clean shots, and he was missing a lot. I had him all busted
up, I was hitting him with a lot of things. So it was very weird,
the scorecards, but they always are. I’m just thankful for the
win.” 

Johnson is now 2-2 in his last four and rebounded from a knockout
loss against Alex Perez
with the win over Silva on Saturday.
