Celine Haga to appeal Saturday’s night decision in the fight against Amy Montenegro at Invicta FC 21.

Celine who has proven that she is one of the best female mma fighters in the world made a comeback on Saturday night that looks to be one of the best fight of the night performances in Invicta FC history. She was down for the count in the first round with a slick armbar by Montenegro but as soon as she was tapping out the bell rung first and the fight was continued to the next round.

Both fighters had some of the best technical ground work we have seen in a long time that lasted for the next two rounds. Celine and Amy did everything they could to submit each other in every kind of move they could think till the end of the third when Celine caught a break and was able to get on the back of Amy and put a rear naked choke that led to a unconscious Amy as the bell rung. The Ref yells out “She’s Out”. Everyone looking on couldn’t believe it, Celine put her out, after some discussion the Ref told the fighters that it will go the judges to be scored and Amy was winning two rounds to one according to SportsGeeks and the judges had it all three rounds for Amy.

A disappointed Celine after the decision was called upon by many fans, fighters, and friends to appeal the decision if at all possible.

Big John McCarthy also made a statement stating: “That if a fighter is unconscious at the end of the round and the bell rings the fighter that had submission attempt gets the win”

I sent a note to Celine late last night and she responded kindly: “I just want to say.. That I’m heartbroken..how can my opponent win when she is unconscious when the fight is over.. Im going to appeal the Dec.. And hopefully get it turned over.. . Then i will go back to the gym. Work hard. .. Work on my flaws.. And get the re match”

Hopefully Celine can get the decision change to her favor but as of right now she did lose the fight and we are waiting to hear when the rematch will be scheduled.
