The fight between Steve Rogers and Ricky Goodall has been ruled no contest after it was determined Goodall had caught Rogers with a knee to the groin before locking in the choke that ended the fight.
The controversial fight was originally slated as a title fight, until Goodall could not get his weight below the maximum allowed for the class. Rogers appealed the decision a few days after the May 7 card.
Rogers was disappointed in the way the fight went after one of his best training camps but plans on having a rematch with Goodall in the future.
“I’m anxious to get back in there. That was probably one of my best training camps and I was definitely ready to fight.”
He said he was happy the decision was overturned after all the work he did to prepare for the fight.
“Its pretty controversial because that’s not something the commissions do very often anywhere,” he said. “There was a lot of speculation (about the fight).”
