This weekend something quite interesting happened at Invicta FC 21 proving just how hard it is to be a ref in mixed martial arts.
The match in question was the duel between Celine Haga and Amy Montenegro.
Haga was quite upset and confused following a surprising ending to the 3rd round against Montenegro.
As it happened Haga locked in a tight rear naked choke that appeared to put the opponent to sleep – which the ref didn’t even notice prior to the final bell.
Then the ref’s scored the fight unanimously for Montenegro (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)?!
