Khetag Pliev , the fighter who had his finger almost completely severed in a Cage Fury Fighting Championships contest held earlier this month, now officially has one less loss on his record. While the CFFC 94 bout was originally declared a TKO win for Pliev’s opponent, Devin Goodale , when the gruesome injury caused the fight to be called off at the end of the second round, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission has since reviewed the contest and elected to change the result. “Upon extensive review of all the videos, talking with the referee and physicians cornering the bout and discussions held with both fighters, I have determined to change the official decision of this bout to a NO DECISION,” PSAC executive director Greg Sirb wrote in an official directive issued Friday and obtained by MMA Junkie. CFFC 94 took place on April 1 at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia and streamed live on UFC Fight Pass. In one of the more bizarre incidents in recent memory, Pliev returned to his corner at the end of the second round and motioned to his cornermen that something was wrong with his left hand.
