However, Casey Kenney wasn’t having it and he jumped over the cage to indicate that he won despite suffering a loss.

Casey Kenney was also active, however, his accuracy left plenty to be desired as the fight entered the final round.

As the fight action settles down once the bout is over, it will be interesting to see which side of the coin lands harder. It’s unlikely that Casey Kenney will win an appeal to overturn her fight to the last contest.
