The review board  decision: The Review board scoring the final match according to the rules agreed on by all parties fighters,promoters and officials as was written in the event program would have scored the match as unanimous decission for Bottone 30-26

  After careful review of the clear missunderstanding of the rules and guidlines of which to judge the Ultimate kickboxing challenge from the judges and the organization in charge of the judges for this event .The UKC board and sponsors have agreed to respect the decission of the judges and keep the fight A draw  on the fighters records. The title will be held by TOMMY "BEE" BOTTONE as the tournament was created as A challenge to him for the title. " SEE next paragraph"

This event was created by Ring of fire promotions  due to the fact that Peter Keljavic and Michael Corleone Both wanted to rematch Tommy "BEE" Bottone from previous fights under different rules and Tommy was under negotiations to fight other fights. Tommy agreed that they would fight each other and he would fight David Cummings and if Tommy won he would fight the winner of kelajavic and Corleone  to prove who the best in the divission was.There was to be A 3 round  final with no even rounds in any fight and 1 winner of this tournament to be decided in 2 / 3 rd fights.all low kicks where to be legal as well as knees with no clinched which was all discussed at the pre fight meeting as well as in the fighter agreemants and written in the fight program for the public to view.

  We at Ring of fire productions and the Ulimate Kickboxing challenge regret that the tournament was not judged on the guidlines that where explained to the athletes and the judges at the pre fight meetting as well as written in the program for all to see.

  We hope to learn from this error in judgement be better preparred for such incidents on future fights.

We regret taking so much time to come to this decision but we feel that it was very important to carefully review all aspects of this decission.We also felt that this was the best decission which could be made without affecting the records of the athletes which put on a great show for the sport of kickboxing .

 Our goal is to promote the sport for the athletes and the fans in an unbiased manner for all to enjoy the sport at its best.
