On Tuesday, the California State Athletic Commission changed a result from last month’s UFC on FOX 1 event from a TKO victory for Robbie Peralta (15-3) over Mackens Semerzier (6-3), to a “No Contest” after the commission determined an accidental headbutt was responsible for ending the bout.
The announcement was made by Semerzier’s management, Sucker Punch Entertainment, via Twitter (@SuckerPUnchEnt) on Tuesday.
– It’s official @MackDaMenaceMMA vs Peralta officially turned over to NO CONTEST! Rematch! @TeamCurranMMA @UFC
Peralta and Semerzier met on the preliminary card of the UFC on FOX 1 event on November 12 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
In the third round of their match, it appeared that Peralta had scored a technical knockout victory over Semerzier, but on replay it showed that it was an accidental headbutt was the strike that had done all the damage. Semerzier’s management had vowed to appeal the result, and was vindicated with today’s announcement.
