Good luck getting the Nevada State Athletic Commission to overturn the decision. It's not a matter of what's right or wrong, it's a matter of what their books say. No code on overturning, then there is no overturn. Ha! Good luck getting the Nevada State Athletic Commission to overturn the decision.

It was odd to see burns accept the decision after the fight and not protest it in the ring, but give the guy credit for being classy. Can't wait to see him fight again! Was waiting to hear this.

Burns used an illegal move and dropped Johnson. That's a win in my book! --seriously, who would actually think this way? Who can POSSIBLY justify a Burns win? Anybody? I'm not being rhetorical.

Very impressive! The appeal is the right thing to do. I hope that Burns heals ups his hand so he can return to the cage asap. That was a great fight! Good job Pavia!
