The officials at UFC on ESPN 46 have had a number of tough situations to work through on the preliminary card, and one, in particular, may have robbed Carlos Hernandez of a finish on his record.
The flyweight bout between Hernandez and Denys Bondar at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas was filled with controversy, with the first occurrence coming in the final seconds of Round 2.
Hernandez (9-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was grounded with both knees on the canvas, and was blasted with an illegal knee strike by Bondar (16-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC). Referee Jerin Valel assessed the situation, and somehow, did not take a point from Bondar for his action.
