NSAC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FINDS NO DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE THAT BO NICKAL HIT JAMIE PICKETT WITH A LOW BLOW AT UFC 285

Bo Nickal scored a first round submission victory over Jamie Pickett on the main card of UFC 285.

However, controversy reared it’s ugly head during the encounter, as it appeared that Nickal hit Pickett with a low blow before scoring a takedown that led to the fight ending submission.

Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) Executive Director Jeff Mullen told MMA Fighting that the commission has reviewed the tape of the fight and “did not find indisputable video evidence that showed the knee strike hit the groin from the video angles we were provided.”

“The review official cannot overturn the in-cage referees decision without indisputable video evidence,” wrote Mullen via text message to MMA Fighting.

Pickett’s representative, LaMont Chappell, has also stated that a decision will be made by today as to whether or not an official appeal will be made regarding the fight to the NSAC.
