The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has upheld Megan Anderson’s victory over Cat Zingano, executive officer Andy Foster told MMA Fighting.
Zingano appealed the TKO loss in front of the commission Tuesday in Anaheim, Calif. At UFC 232 on Dec. 29 in Inglewood, Calif., Anderson threw a kick in the first round and her toe went in Zingano’s eye. Zingano’s eye was injured by the toe and the referee stopped the fight due to Zingano not being able to intelligently defend herself.
At the CSAC meeting Tuesday, Zingano’s team argued that a toe to the eye should be a foul in the same way that a finger to the eye is.
