KSW 17: James Thompson vs Mariusz Pudzianowski changed to 'no contest' in light of scoring error

Looks like James Thompson's post-fight hissy fit was able to achieve more than just a few laughs.

That's because officials behind last weekend's KSW 17 event in Poland have opted to change the result from his headlining bout against Mariusz Pudzianowski to a "no contest" after a scoring error was revealed from judge Piotr Baginski.

From MMA Rocks:

Pudzianowski vs Thompson 2 changed to a no contest, should've been a split draw, but judge Piotr Baginski made a mistake on his card.

Pudzianowski was granted a majority decision win after just two rounds of action; however, fight replays indicate that Thompson was the likely winner of round one, which should have prompted an overtime round to determine the victor.

Because of the aforementioned scoring snafu, a third round never came, which led to this infamous post-fight promo:

"F*cking joke. Give Mariusz a big round of applause. Come on. What a f*cking joke. I thought KSW was really trying to be serious. If you can watch that back and call that serious, then you're f*cked, and KSW is going down the f*cking toilet."

 

Thompson already holds a submission win over Pudzianowski from their first encounter back in May, but they are not expected to settle their score under the KSW banner anytime soon.
