Modified Rules Bout
Against current-day standards, the rules for this bout would not qualify it to count towards a fighter's MMA record. At the time, however, it was considered to be within the boundaries of mixed martial arts or no holds barred fighting. For historical recordkeeping purposes, Tapology has "grandfathered" this bout and continues to classify it as an MMA contest for fighter record purposes.
