The California State Athletic Commission has denied an appeal by Phumi Nkuta regarding the outcome of his fight against Adriano Moraes. The ruling leaves the original result in place.
The CSAC rejected Nkuta's claim that referee Herb Dean mishandled the conclusion of the bout. The fight took place during the Rousey-Carano event.
Nkuta had sought to overturn what was his only professional loss. The commission's decision confirms that the result stands as originally recorded.
No further details on the timeline of the appeal or the fight itself were provided in the reports.
