History will say Nam Phan lost his UFC debut on Saturday. But as far as Phan is concerned – and, as it turns out, maybe everyone save for a pair of judges – this one “L” on his resume is spelled with a bunch of silent W’s.

Phan, a semifinalist on Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter, drew UFC and WEC veteran Leonard Garcia for Saturday’s live TUF 12 Finale in Las Vegas. Phan seemed to dominate Garcia throughout their fight, which opened Saturday’s main card on Spike TV. But it was Garcia who walked out of the cage with a split decision win.

The judges scored the fight 30-27 for Phan, but two 29-28s for Garcia, leaving Phan stunned, the crowd at The Pearl at The Palms stunned and without doubt the vast majority of the television audience stunned. Even Garcia admitted the judges got it wrong.
