UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Manager-coach Tyson Chartier won’t give up in his fight to overturn Mike Rodriguez ’s controversial loss to Ed Herman . Rodriguez (11-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) was on the wrong end of an error from referee Chris Tognoni in the light heavyweight bout at UFC on ESPN+ 35 in September, which Herman won by third-round submission. In the second round, Rodriguez dropped Herman with a knee to the midsection, but the referee misidentified it as a low blow .

Tognoni declined to consult a replay, and the fight was allowed to resume after the controversial incident.
