Cat Zingano isn’t going to let a freak accident add another loss to her record.
The one-time bantamweight title challenger is seeking to have her most recent fight with Megan Anderson at UFC 232 in Inglewood, Calif., on Dec. 29 overturned to a no-contest, MMA Fighting confirmed with California State Athletic Commission executive Andy Foster following an initial report by MMAjunkie.
Zingano ended up on the wrong end of a TKO after a high kick from Anderson resulted in Anderson’s toe scraping Zingano’s eye. The 36-year-old fighter could not continue and the featherweight bout was waved off by referee Marc Goddard at the 1:01 mark of round one, with Anderson being declared the victor.
