OFFCIAL RESULT: Charles Oliveira def. Nik Lentz by submission (rear-naked choke) Rd 2 (1:48)

COMMENTS: Oliveira apologizes to Lentz after the fight. He said he plans to come back and show his true technique. He said it was not intentional. That gets a few claps at least. Joe Rogan says the commission will review the bout.Surely, they will likely overturn the result; at least you would hope so.

Now — as far as this referee goes who failed to call this, one has to ask the question… is he a boxing referee who does not know any better? Not very many big shows come to Pennsylvania, so one has to wonder how much experience these refs have.

It’s really an unfortunate ending because it was such a good fight up until that point and it appeared Oliveira was on his way to winning anyway.
