The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the state’s governing body that oversees combat sports, is under fire in the wake of apparent gross incompetence by a referee at Fury FC 76 in San Antonio.
The incident happened Friday during a competitive flyweight main event between Dana White’s Contender Series veteran Edgar Chairez and Gianni Vazquez. In the fourth round, Vazquez took down Chairez but quickly found himself trapped in a triangle choke. Chairez managed to lock it in even tighter and the unconscious Vazquez crashed down to the canvas after about 9 seconds.
