In nearly 5 years of watching and covering UB wrestling I can’t recall a match that has had a more controversial ending that Colt Cotten’s match versus Missouri’s Lavion Mayes.
With less than a minute remaining and with Mayes having the match well in hand, Cotten was working for a takedown and locked up with Mayes. Mayes then wound up and punched Cotten in the stomach.
According to NCAA Wrestling rule 5.6.1 intentionally striking an opponent at any point either before, during or after a match the offending wrestler will be assessed a flagrant misconduct and be disqualified from the match.
