Brazilian commission denies Jorgensen’s appeal
The Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) is not going to budge on Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight Scott Jorgensen’s loss to Jussier da Silva.
At the last UFC Fight Night in Brazil, Scott Jorgensen was submitted after being hit with an illegal head butt. Jorgensen then appealed to the commission as the ended was related to the illegal strike, but today it was ruled that the decision would stay:
The Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) is not going to budge on Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight Scott Jorgensen’s loss to Jussier da Silva, after “Young Guns” cried foul over the outcome of their scrap at UFC Fight Night 38 last month in Brazil.
No ifs, ands, or (head) butts.
Jorgensen was miffed after “Formiga” choked him out, insisting it was a collision of crowns and not a Brazilian bumrush that sent him crashing to the canvas. Naturally, his opponent feigned ignorance, suggesting it was the chest that absorbed the blow.
