Reason for Dispute

The matchmaker of AFC reached out to me with this fight opportunity and said the fight would be 3 rounds 5 minutes (I have the screenshots for evidence). I asked multiple times and he said the same thing even the day before the match when we were going through the rules and regulations. The fight was abruptly stopped after 2 rounds without any reason or explanation, the explanation given later was that the fight was only scheduled for 2 rounds. This was supposed to be a pro MMA main event. When is a pro MMA fight ever 2 rounds only and no elbows allowed? I would like to dispute the fight result and get this match overturned to a NC out of fairness for all parties involved. Also, this MMA promotion needs to be flagged and banned in the Tapology database as they do not follow strict pro MMA guidelines, and changed the rules the day of the fight.
