BOISE, Idaho – This is a man who’s had enough – a onetime contender who can’t quite seem to understand his losing skid or why he keeps ending up on the wrong side of decisions.

On Saturday at UFC Fight Night 133, Dennis Bermudez (16-9 MMA, 9-7 UFC) suffered a split-decision defeat to Rick Glenn (21-5-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in yet another loss for the former featherweight contender.

In fact, as part of his current four-fight losing skid, Bermudez has suffered three consecutive split-decision defeats.

“It’s a tough pill to swallow, for sure,” Bermudez told MMAjunkie after his latest setback, which followed earlier split-decision defeats to Andre Fili and Darren Elkins.

Saturday’s main-card defeat, which aired on FS1 from CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, could be the must infuriating one yet, though he’s got reasons to despise each one. A quick scan of MMADecisions.com, which tallies unofficial scoring from a variety of MMA media outlets, shows that the official scorecards have differed quite starkly from the media’s scores during his recent skid.

Here’s the media scoring for each bout, via MMADecisions.com:

It’s been a bit of a proverbial gut-punch for Bermudez. The losses not only cost him money in the form of win bonuses, they seem to have done a number on his psyche.

“I mean, I’ve got kids. I’ve got a house,” he said. “Financially, it sucks. I have to pay my coaches, my manager. I’m paying for my week out here, the flights. It doesn’t pay to lose. It doesn’t.

“I mean, if you’re in the NBA and you lose, you still go back to your Ferrari. Here, man, it’s tough to pay taxes on it. It sucks.

As for the future? Does the frustration make him want to quit?

“I don’t know,” he said. “We’re going to let it sink, and I’ll get back to you.”
