Skelly to challenge UFC Denver loss only if he can ‘get a guarantee’ that Moffett keeps his win bonus

While Yair Rodriguez unquestionably stole the show at UFC Denver with his electrifying last second knockout of all-action favorite Chan Sung Jung, Chas Skelly found himself at the center of the night’s biggest controversy. The ‘Scrapper’ suffered a second round submission defeat at the hands of UFC newcomer Bobby Moffett. But, it’s a loss that had many fans and pundits saying that Skelly had been robbed.

After spending most of the first round on Moffett’s back, Skelly was cuaght off guard in round 2 by what looked to be a deep D’arce choke attempt. Skelly circled away and actively fought the choke for several seconds before stopping and appearing to relax his body.
