Speaking reporters in a post-fight media scrum following her win at UFC Fight Night 101 (via MMAjunkie), Danielle Taylor discussed her win over Seo Hee Ham. Taylor won the fight in a close split decision. She also addressed the controversy over an apparent eye poke that Ham suffered during the fight. Below are some highlights from the scrum.

Taylor on the controversy over an apparent eye poke: “Well, I knew I didn’t – I know I didn’t poke her eye. But I waited. Once the ref gave me the green light, I went. I’m not going to stop. He said go, (so) go. Green means go. It’s a fight.”

Taylor on if she was worried about the scores: “I pretty much knew I had it.”
