Cat Zingano delivers UFC 232 appeal, lawyer argues that allowing win to stand would ‘endanger fighters’

Cat Zingano is following through on her desire to get her loss to Megan Anderson at UFC 232 overturned. The former bantamweight title challenger lost her featherweight debut in just one minute, with only six strikes traded, when an errant head kick attempt sent Anderson’s toe into Zingano’s right eye. The result was a cut eyelid that ended with the referee waving off the bout, due to Zingano being no longer able to defend herself.

Clearly a disappointing loss for ‘Alpha’ Cat, who was looking to build momentum from her July win over Marion Reneau. But, it’s also a loss that has sparked some debate.
