Magomed Ankalaev appeared to have hurt Ion Cutelaba within less than a minute into the 1st-round. While Cutelaba appeared to have been wobbled, he was still standing and defending himself, even throwing shots back at his foe. Despite this, the referee jumped in to stop the fight — receiving immediate protest from Cutelaba. The MMA community were not pleased by this stoppage, with veteran referee “Big” John McCarthy going as far as calling the decision “horrendous”.

Ion Cutelaba has addressed the situation himself, with a post on his Instagram calling it “one of the worst calls in UFC history.” He has stated that he will be appealing the decision with the Virginia athletic commission.

Tonight I was denied a chance to Show my work to the fans. Reffering is a very hard job and tonight a mistake took away months of hard work and possible income from my family. I know that the comission will be able to understand that this was a incorrect call and will reverse the decision. Nobody wins in a situation like this, the fans lost on watching What Could be the fight of the Night, my opponent had a contestable win that will be overturned and I had one of the worst calls in @ufc history happen Against me. I apreciate all the support from the fans in Norfolk, back home and all ofer the world. I will be back and I believe that We will together be able to correct this injustice. ————————————— În această seară mi s-a refuzat șansa de a-mi arăta fanilor munca mea. Arbitraju este o muncă foarte grea și în această seară o greșeală a scos luni de muncă grele și venituri posibile familiei mele. Știu că comisia va putea înțelege că acesta a fost un apel incorect și va inversa decizia. Nimeni nu câștigă într-o situație de genul acesta, fanii au pierdut sansa posibila de a viziona lupta nopții, adversarul meu a avut o victorie contestabilă și am avut una dintre cele mai rele decizii din istoria @ufc care sa întâmplat împotriva mea. Am apreciat tot sprijinul din partea fanilor din Norfolk, înapoi acasă și tuturor oferite lumii. Voi reveni și cred că împreună vom fi capabili să corectăm această nedreptate.

Cutelaba went into this fight with momentum behind him, having recently disposed of Khalil Rountree with a 1st-round win, so his frustration is understandable.
