NSAC to Investigate Max Rohskopf's Corner for Refusal to Stop UFC Fight

The Nevada State Athletic Commission will investigate the end of Saturday's UFC fight between Max Rohskopf and Austin Hubbard, according to ESPN's Ariel Helwani.

While Hubbard emerged victorious, controversy erupted as Rohskopf, who was making his UFC debut, was seen repeatedly telling his cornerman Robert Drysdale to call the fight between the second and third rounds. Drysdale refused to throw in the towel and attempted to send Rohskopf back out against his wishes.

Helwani noted Rohskopf asked Drysdale to call off the bout nine times in one minute. The NSAC inspector on site, Charvez Foger, ultimately stepped in to end the match himself.
