Khusein Askhabov Victory Overturned to Disqualification by Danish MMA Federation
Former UFC fighter Khusein Askhabov had his first-round TKO win over Reinaldo Ekson overturned to a disqualification by the Danish MMA Federation due to a rules violation.
One-time UFC fighter Khusein Askhabov has seen his recent first-round TKO victory over Reinaldo Ekson overturned. The Danish MMA Federation (DMMAF) issued the ruling following a review of the lightweight contest, which served as the co-main event of Airtox Dominance FC 8.
The event took place on October 17 in Copenhagen, Denmark. According to the federation, the change in result stems from a 'serious violation' during the bout. Reports indicate that Askhabov attacked his opponent while the fight was grounded in a manner that violated competition rules, leading the commission to vacate the initial TKO result.
The disqualification marks a significant turn in the career of Askhabov, who previously competed under the UFC banner. The DMMAF’s decision to formally sanction the fighter underscores the commission's strict enforcement of bout conduct rules. Askhabov’s record now reflects the disqualification loss, while Ekson receives the win via result reversal. No further disciplinary actions beyond the change of result have been confirmed by the federation at this time.
