Akiyama vs. Misaki a No Contest
By Mike MacLeod • Jan 23rd, 2008 • Category: FeaturesFightOpinion.com reports that Japanese MMA site God Bless the Ring says that the finish of the Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Kazuo Misaki fight has been overturned.
Misaki was declared the winner on the New Years Eve Yarennoka show when he delivered a brutal soccer kick to Akiyami’s head. However, there has been a public outcry that the kick was illegal because Akiyami’s hand was touching the canvas when he was struck.
The decision has been officially changed to a no contest.
