UFC Denver preliminary card results and highlights: Chas Skelly loses in controversial fashion

For a 2018 UFC prelim card, UFC Fight Night: Korean Zombie vs. Rodriguez delivered an unexpected amount of excitement (and some controversy).

The most notable incident of the prelims came in the featherweight clash between Chas Skelly and the debuting Bobby Moffett. In the second round, the bout went to the ground, with Skelly cartwheeling himself into a tight d’arce choke. Moffett cranked on the submission attempt and Skelly did his best to stay alive in the fight. It’s then that the referee called the contest off, believing Skelly had been choked unconscious. Skelly disagreed, claiming he was awake every step of the way.
