This was a win for Sam ( KO via slam under a minute). Both fighters have not fought since. Although, Woods had a fight a scheduled that didn't happen. This fight was in New Jersey. Do they have any privacy/medical laws there?

Prediction: Oropeza  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

I'll send an email out to my contact and see if I can find out. UG lists it as a NC still but Sherdog does have it as a win.

One of our editors, RyMac, updated the result.  You could ping him.

I got an email back from the promoter and he wasn't sure why it was a NC.

I messaged Sam on twitter and he wants me to call him I just haven't had a chance yet. I will try to give him a call tonight and get to the bottom of this.

I asked the promoter and he said he wasnt sure but maybe because Sammy failed a drug test. So no clue really what happened.

Thanks. Weird that no one knows or at least isn't revealing. Usually this kind of thing is public. Also strange that Sherdog doesn't have it as a no contest as well.

Yeah and it was weird that Sammy O was being kind of secretive about it and wanted me to call him and then didnt answer.

I just emailed the New Jersey Athletic Commission so we will see if they respond

Sam has a fight coming up in CFFC this october. He will fight Levon Maynard at a catchweight I heard. Sam wants to drop to 170 eventually, again.
