As expected, Cat Zingano has filed an appeal of her loss to Megan Anderson at UFC 232.
MMAjunkie.com obtained a copy of the document, which can be viewed here. Zingano is hoping to have her technical knockout defeat overturned to a no contest. The Dec. 29 featherweight bout was halted after a kick from Anderson injured Zingano’s eye 61 seconds into the opening frame.
While eye pokes from fingers are considered illegal under the unified rules of MMA, a strike to the eyes from a punch or kick doesn’t fall under the same category.
