Edgar Chairez vs Daniel da Silva H2H Stats, Records, Win And Defeats In UFC
In a recent flyweight clash that took place at Noche UFC, Edgar Chairez and Daniel da Silva faced off in a bout that ended in controversy. The fight, which was refereed by Chris Tognoni, ended in a “no contest” due to a referee error. This left both fighters disappointed, as they were denied the opportunity to secure their first UFC victory.
The fight started with da Silva taking Chairez down early and delivering some ground-and-pound. However, as Chairez attempted a guillotine during a scramble, Tognoni, the referee, called a stop to the contest, seemingly believing that da Silva had passed out from the choke. This premature stoppage was met with immediate protests from da Silva.
Fortunately, the error was rectified shortly after, as Tognoni and the cageside replay official reviewed the video, leading to the fight being declared a “no contest.”
Dominick Cruz, the former UFC bantamweight titleholder and commentator for the event, openly criticized Tognoni for his mistake. Cruz pointed out the importance of referees having personal experience in grappling to avoid such errors. Both Chairez and da Silva were deprived of the opportunity to secure their first UFC win, making this fight a memorable but anticlimactic event.
