Keith Berry and Kevin Casey Wish Bellator 170 Draw Turned Out Differently

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Kevin Casey (9-5-2 MMA, 0-0-1 BMMA) and Keith Berry (15-13-1 MMA, 2-3-1 BMMA) spoke about their majority draw at Bellator 170. Here are highlights:

Casey on the draw decision: “I definitely was disappointed with the decision. I thought I won the first round 10-8. The second I felt like I had great control of the ring and kept him on the bottom. I stayed busy and had the dominance and landed some heavier shots. So going into the third, my corner and I, we all felt I had won the first two rounds.”

Berry on how he should have won: “It’s kind of a (expletive) feeling. You get a majority draw, and it’s like no one wins. I’ve got to go back to the drawing board and work a little harder. A majority draw, I wish there was another round because I kind of – I don’t feel winded. I feel great. He must have got me with a good one in the first round because I thought it was the second round. It is what it is.”

Casey on using too much energy: “I used a little bit too much gas, and I tried to coast through the third. I just don’t see how they came up with giving him the second, and it’s very disappointing. He’s a very tough fighter, but I had hurt real bad, dropped him twice, and I never felt like he was in a position to possibly be winning the fight.”

Casey on his history of bad calls: “This isn’t the first time that I’ve got a bad call. Last time I fought here at The Forum I felt like I got a bad call. It was a draw, as well. So I don’t know if I’m getting bad luck at The Forum or what the situation is.”
