On Monday morning, ONE championship officials told Ariel Helwani of ESPN about the change following the completion of an investigation. Per a press release from ONE, a vote was taken by a “panel of independent industry experts and ONE Championship officials, judges, and referees” and they unanimously determined that the decision should be changed after a “procedural misstep” from referee Justin Brown.
