The Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission denied Scott Jorgensen's appeal, which requested a review of the result of his defeat to Jussier formiga at UFC Natal due to a headbutt suffered shortly before the submission that gave the Brazilian victory. The entity understood that the coup was accidental and maintained Formiga's victory in the fight, which took place on March 23rd.
The information was released by the North American's press office and reproduced by the “MMA Junkie” website. “CABMMA denied Scott Jorgensen’s appeal. (The entity) will not replace a non-appointment within the cage. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal with CABMMA, we hope that the UFC will grant Scott Jorgensen a rematch,” the statement reads.
On March 23, in Natal (RN), Scott Jorgensen suffered his second consecutive defeat in the flyweight category when he was submitted by the Brazilian Jussier formiga on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 38. Since then, the American has insisted on complaining about an alleged headbutt he suffered from the Brazilian moments before he was submitted.
