Strikeforce lightweight Mitsuhiro Ishida, who suffered a third-round knockout loss to interim lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez at Saturday’s “Carano vs. Cyborg” event in San Jose, has filed a verbal complaint with the California State Athletic Commission alleging that Melendez “greased” in the bout, according to Dave Meltzer at f4wonline.com.

I know how this movie ends…the end
not this crap again!
butttt Ishida isn’t one just to “make this up”, and frankly he isn’t making a huge deal out of it, just made a formal complaint. We shall see i guess… Also Ishida has been F’d in fights before and never complained soo it is possible for him to be telling the truth. Most likely nothing will come of it tho
didn’t I read something a few months back about refs checking out replays? and possibly overruling a decision?
