After a review of the fight, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission has overturned Charles Oliveira’s heavily panned UFC on Versus 4 victory over Nik Lentz and declared it a no-contest.
Oliveira was credited with a submission victory, but it was aided by a clearly illegal knee to a downed opponent that referee Chip Snider either missed or ignored.
Officials immediately announced the fight would be reviewed. As it turned out, the PSAC needed just a few days to overturn the victory.
