Saturday night’s fight card at the UFC APEX kicked off with a bit of controversy. Lightweight Max Rohskopf wanted out of his prelim fight with Austin Hubbard entering the third round, which he repeatedly told his coach Robert Drysdale.
Drysdale wasn’t willing to accept his fighter’s surrender, despite pleas from the fatigued and hurt Rohskopf. The fight was finally called to a halt when Rohskopf himself informed an official.
Now, the Nevada Athletic Commission may get involved and impose a sanction on Drysdale and his fellow coaches.
“That’s something we will take a look at,” NSAC executive director Bob Bennett told ESPN.
