Macy Chiasson scored the biggest win of her UFC career, but not without a little controversy.
Chiasson earned a second-round TKO stoppage over Mayra Bueno Silva after slicing open a gruesome cut above Silva’s eye with an elbow. Silva tried as hard as possible to convince the cageside physician to allow her to continue, but ultimately she was ruled unable to compete, instantly rocketing Chiasson up into a contendership position within the UFC women’s bantamweight division.
But not everyone agreed with the doctor’s call. Check out how the MMA world reacted to Chiasson vs. Silva at UFC 303 below.

They need to let those cuts ride. If the fighter wants to fight them then fight #UFC303

The card has had lots of weird things happening. Would not be surprised if Alex loses his belt.

Beautiful elbow!! But may I ask, what was the imminent danger of not letting the fight continue? No vision impairment, just a bad visual in my non medical opinion. What are your thoughts? #ufc303
