Why the Main Event Is Recorded as a No Contest

Shlemenko landed a spinning backfist that knocked Manhoef out 1:25 into the second round. After Shlemenko’s post-fight test showed an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio, the California State Athletic Commission overturned the win to a no contest. The original in-cage finish and the later official record are therefore different.
