No offense to my opponent Drew Fickett as this is not his fault. We fought tonight , I was dominating the majority of the fight , he got my back at one point and had his arm around my chin. The referee jumped in and just stopped the fight, no tap, I wasn;t out. I immediately was on my feet protesting. According to the Minnesota commision there is no appeal process, so I am basically screwed out of a fight.
sucks, but nothing you can do. You'll get another chance Im sure. Keep your head up. Careful posting that here though trolls will swarm in a few dont let them bother you
That's a rough break man, but I'm sure you'll come back strong. Was his arm under your chin? Regardless, it sounds like the heferee had no business stopping it, though I would like to see a clip to be sure. It's really a shame there is no appeal process in this age of instant replays, but not entirely surprising. Keep your head up, man.
Nothing to troll really, I am not bashing Drew, he did his job, he even admitted after there was no tap. Ref said he thought I was out, but I was completely concious and complaining the moment it was stopped.

you should be Drews a dick I was rooting for you to whoop his ass lol
the same shit happened to me against chris saunders...
fucking larry landless screwed me.
that shit sucks bro.
I would love to see a video of the fight. Sucks that it had to turn out this way. Its gotta be frustrating. Hopefully a promotor can set up the rematch.
Sucks
Good lawd wtf is up the judging and officiating lately?!
I'd love to see the video.
Video please.
Too many uneducated (in mma) ref's out there. Larry Landless is a boxing ref, isnt he?
IMO if you havent trained seriously you shouldnt be able to ref a pro show. Everybody has a different point of submission or choke out. Too many early stoppages because they dont know what they are seeing.
that blows man...early stoppages are so stupid, the ref not check your hand or ask you if you were okay first?
No hand checks, which they said they would do in the prefight meeting.
If anyone knows how to get the video I would appreciate it. It was live on webstream last night mmaactionlive.com.
Everyone there ringside basically said it was a screwjob, but nobody offered to correct it or make it right. Not much the promoters can do when a referee screws a fighter.

How is something like this a non appealable? You have both fighter stating no tap and choke wasn't in place. Aren't AC's in place to insure safety and a equal playing field for all involved?
It would be nice to see a rematch on this fight asap even though the damage is done.
Bad reffing and shitty judging is going to ruin this sport. How many times in the past month or 2 alone has a shitty ref,or an incompetent judge totally botched their job and ruined a fight? It's an embarrassment.
Derrick Noble - What city did this happen in? Also, what round?
Keep training and stay positive it sucks the referee made a bad decision.
Bad reffing and judging are the current downfall of the sport. I really hope that someone gets serious about fixing these issues.
