His LFA 36 actions were unconscionable, but should Drew Chatman get a second chance after his bizarre disqualification? That’s the question we posed in our Daily Daily on MMAjunkie Radio. This past Friday in a “post-lim” bout that following LFA 36’s AXS TV-televise main card, heavyweight Irvins Ayala (1-0) was knocked out when he fell on Chatman’s (0-1) knee.

Spine-flipping LFA fighter Drew Chatman could get additional punishment for celebration

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) is considering additional reprimands against Drew Chatman following his infamous post-knockout celebration at LFA 36 last Friday. After a bizarre finishing sequence in which Irvins Ayala (1-0) was knocked out by falling on Chatman’s (0-1) knee, Chatman got up and did a front-flip off his opponent’s downed body. What would’ve been a win resulted in a disqualification for Chatman, who received a 90-day suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct and the withholding of his contracted $500 purse. CSAC Executive Director Andy Foster said more penalties could be on the way, though. Chatman expressed remorse for his actions in an interview with MMAFighting.com , and while Foster said that’s appreciated, the utterly callous nature of the situation is admittedly hard to forgive

Bellator welterweight Lorenz Larkin summed up the feelings of a lot of MMA fans when it comes a controversial disqualification at Friday’s LFA 36 event. In a “post-lim” bout that followed the AXS TV-televised main card at Morongo Casino Resort in Cabazon, Calif., heavyweight Drew Chatman (0-1) celebrated his short-lived pro-debut victory by standing on opponent Irvins Ayala ’s (1-0) spine and then front-flipping on his unconscious body . The despicable display quickly prompted widespread condemnation from the MMA world, especially considering Chatman seemed to luck into the win (opponent Ayala appeared to accidentally knock himself out to end the fight). Chatman’s victory promptly became a loss via disqualification. Here’s a look at the controversial ending (via Twitter ): So this happened after we went off air from #LFA36 last night

LFA 36 results: Disqualification for standing/flipping on defeated opponent’s spine

If you like knockouts – and some infuriating weirdness – Friday’s LFA 36 event had you covered. LFA 36 aired on AXS TV from Morongo Casino Resort in Cabazon, Calif., and the seven-bout main card featured seven stoppages – five in the first round. In the main event, bantamweight champion Ricky Simon (12-1) emerged victorious from a firefight with Vinicius Zani (11-5) and ultimately forced a stoppage with a swarm of punches. The title defense lasted just 59 seconds and marked Simon’s fifth straight victory for the KOTC/Titan FC/Dana White’s Contender Series alum
