モンテカルロ, モナコ(7月 15, 2016)- The World Mixed Martial Arts Association (WMMAA) has issued an announcement regarding an appeal recently filed by Stefano Sartori, manager of Brazilian fighter ファビオ·マルドナド, to reassess the result of his June 17^目 fight with ヒョードルエメリヤーエンコ, which headlined ファイトナイトグローバル 50 サンクトペテルブルク, ロシア.

WMMAA General Secretary & 上級副社長 アレクサンダー・エンゲルハルト (左に描か) has declared that Emelianenko vs. マルドナド, which was originally ruled a majority decision victory in favor of Emeliananko, officially be changed to a draw.

Team Malondado’s appeal to the WMMAA was filed claiming a conflict of interest because all of the judges are employed by the Russian MMA Union, of which Emelianenko serves as president, as well as for the initial appeal to the Russian MMA Union, a sanctioned WMMAA member, being unjustly rejected by the head jury.

Engelhardt was appointed by WMMAA present Vadim Finkelchetein to handle the appeal procedure. A committee was formed comprised of Engelhardt, ヘクター・モリーナ (メキシコ), Chairman of the Rules, Regulations and Referee Committee; Ino Alberga (The Netherlands), Member of the Rules, Regulations and Referee Committee; Poalo Biotti (イタリア), Chairman Ethics and Disciplinary Committee; Zaya Zaya (オーストラリア), Member Professional Referee Committee.

加えて, independent judge マルコ・ブラザーズ (The Netherlands), Chairman of Professional Referee Committee and Ethics and Disciplinary Committee, was responsible for selecting an independent judges’ panel to reassess the original result. The three-judges were Youri Lamoureux (カナダ), Lukasz Bosacki(ポーランド) と Alexey Zemskov (ロシア).

Each of the three aforementioned judges scored the first round in favor of Emelianenko, 10-8, and the second and third rounds for Maldonado, 10-9 各, resulting in a 28-28 描く.

The appeal procedure was divided into two parts for review in terms of whether the procedural mistakes related to the fight were made and that an independent international judges’ panel had to review the fight.

The WMMAA came to the conclusion that the appeal was legitimate and it was accepted due to the fact one of the fighters, エメリヤーエンコ, as President of the Russian MMA Union, and Head of Judges, ラドミール・ガブドゥリン, had a working relationship that could potentially affect the judgmental decisions. The WMMAA made it clear that it wasn’t saying the aforementioned relationship led to a different outcome of the result, just that it was an unfortunate choice.

さらに, the WMMAA ruled that initially refusing the appeal was a mistake based on WMMAA amateur rules as Emelianenko vs. Maldonado was conducted under WMMAA rules.

The appeal decision that resulted in the result being changed to “Unanimous Draw” was accepted by the WMMAA, which informed Fight Nights, the promoter of Emelianko vs. マルドナド, エメリヤーエンコ, Sartori and the Russian MMA Union of its decision, and that it official had closed the appeal.
