“FMMAF, a federation that has legal authority over MMA fights in France, has communicated that due to the failed test, Mix’s win is being overturned from a win to a loss,“ Tapology wrote on social media. ”This is not the first ‘reverse to a loss’ we have received from the FMMAF but it is the most prominent. Tapology does not overturn wins to losses in such circumstances. The approach we are accustomed to in MMA is for wins to be overturned to No Contests.“

“Since we do not feel that showing this Bellator fight as a loss for Patchy Mix is in the best interest of our users, we have today rolled out another new feature. The Patchy Mix vs. Magomed Magomedov bout is now listed on Tapology as having been overturned by the FMMAF to a loss for Mix. However, for Tapology statistics purposes, the original result of a Mix win still stands and remains tallied in the fighter win/loss totals.”
