UFC’s Chas Skelly successfully appeals to overturn controversial loss to ‘no contest’

It’s not often we see fighters successfully appeal for a loss to be overturned to a no contest, but that’s what happened to Chas Skelly.

The UFC featherweight veteran’s “TKO” loss to Bobby Moffett in November 2018 has been officially flipped to a no contest by Colorado’s athletic commission. Referee Tim Mills deemed Skelly to be out from a Moffett d’arce choke, but that was not the case and Skelly immediately protested the stoppage.

Even with instant replay, the call was upheld and under Colorado rules this was actually announced as a TKO. Watch the ending for yourself.
