Reason for Dispute

My name is Alberto Yaguare, Pro MMA Fighter of Venezuela, with experience in combats in Venezuela, Spain, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia, etc. I need your help, I was subject to an illegal disqualification in my last fight, and I am trying to reverse that decision. That fight was held on his show RFC Colombia The Beginning, on Saturday, April 7. It was the main fight of the show, where I played the Welterweight title against Mauricio Otalora. The action was stopped by the Referee during the second round, after my opponent fell Knockdonw product of a knee to the jaw, then touched (surrendered) due to the harsh punishment he received from me. My opponent was protecting himself in the turtle position, and I connected several blows to the sides of his head, making him hit. The Referee argued that some punches landed on the back of the head, and proceeded to give my opponent five minutes of recovery. At the end of the recovery period, my opponent said he was too dizzy to continue, so I was disqualified. I'm pretty sure there were no illegal shots, there was no intention on my part to hit the back of the head, and that the disqualification was not the proper fine to apply. I attach some videos along with these messages to support my words. I am sure that this result can be corrected, with the help of people like you, who can make the authorities of RFC understands the lack of knowledge demonstrated by the judges in this event. I respect the promoter, the judges, the referee and my opponent, but I am a professional who can not accept an incorrect application of the rules that is damaging my career, therefore, I hope to correct that result. Greetings. P.S: What can be done in this situation to help the sport so that these bad events do not happen?
