Rodel Mayol's controversial TKO2 victory over Edgar Sosa. Near the beginning of the second round, Mayol knocked down Sosa with a massive semi-intentional headbutt, for which Mayol was docked a point but Sosa was not given a full five minutes to recover. Still wobbly, the action restarted, and Mayol was able to knock down and then overwhelm Sosa for the victory. Don't be surprised if an immediate rematch is mandated.

Mayol

From the angles shown, that headbutt looked more than “semi-intentional.” Oh well…can’t do nothing about it now. The rematch should be decent, with Sosa winning if there are no more “accidental” head swings from Mayol. =P

Agreed

It probably should have been a DQ. The butt was hard enough that it fractured Sosa’s cheekbone.

Not sure there’ll be a rematch. Sosa has been dying to go up to 112, and it’s pretty hard to look at this loss like it’s any huge deal.

I think Segura would demolish Mayol as well

Outside of one fight, dude has looked like a beast. I just don’t know what was wrong with him the first Canchila fight. He seemed sluggish and afraid to pull the trigger there.
