UFC world demands justice for Chris Curtis after Bobby Green vs. Jared Gordon gets declared a no contest

The Jared Gordon vs. Bobby Green no-contest has left fans in splits. It was seen as one of the more exciting matchups at UFC Vegas 71. However, the lightweight bout ultimately ended in a no-contest owing to an accidental clash of heads.During the final minutes of the first round, the duo accidentally bumped heads which left Gordon dazed, allowing Green to capitalize and pounce on 'Flash' with some vicious ground and pound, ultimately prompting the referee to stop the fight.However, the Commission intervened before the official results were read out and ruled the fight a no-contest instead of a TKO win for Green, after reviewing the tape and discerning that a headbutt contributed to the final sequence.MMAFighting.com@MMAFightingBobby Green vs. Jared Gordon was ruled a no contest due to an accidental headbutt at #UFCVegas712196Bobby Green vs. Jared Gordon was ruled a no contest due to an accidental headbutt at #UFCVegas71 https://t.co/5fPPZJdVwMEarlier this month at UFC 287, Chris Curtis also suffered an accidental headbutt during his fight against Kelvin Gastelum, which according to him, affected his performance for the remainder of the fight.

During the post-event press conference at UFC Vegas 71, 'King' didn't hold back and spoke his mind.The 36-year-old reasoned why he deserved the win while also demanding that he be paid his full purse for the fight:&quot;F**k this, f**k this, and f**k this. I was going for an elbow, and we kind of dipped his head, and we clashed, but he was still f*****g moving. He was trying to put me in a f*****g triangle. I fought the triangle s**t off, and he was still moving fine. Then after I busted his a**, then he was f****d up... They want to slide me on my money, that's what I'm mad about... I need my money.&quot;Catch Bobby Green's comments below:
