Jim Alers and Chas Skelly The possibility of Jim Alers appealing and overturning his loss at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 60 event is, it seems, slim at best. Alers (13-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) ultimately suffered a second-round TKO loss to fellow featherweight Chas Skelly (14-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in a FOX Sports 1-televised preliminary-card bout at Broomfield, Colo.’s 1STBank Center. However, prior to the stoppage, which came a mere second before the end of the second round, Skelly caught Alers with an illegal knee. Alers had a knee and hand on the mat, making him a downed opponent, but Skelly connected anyway. Alers was clearly in trouble of being stopped before the blow, but rules are rules, right?
