A vitória de Khusein Askhabov no Airtox Dominance FC 8 foi reescrita como derrota por desqualificação, e o ex-lutador do UFC agora fica 12 meses fora, junto com sua equipe de córner.
A Federação Dinamarquesa de Artes Marciais Mistas (DMMAF) entendeu que Askhabov partiu para cima de Reinaldo Ekson depois que os oficiais interromperam a luta de 17 de outubro, em Copenhague, por suspeita de dedo no olho. O combate foi paralisado e Askhabov chegou a ser declarado vencedor por nocaute técnico; a federação então revisou a sequência e inverteu o resultado.
O comunicado colocou a ênfase no que aconteceu durante a paralisação: “Após revisar o incidente, a DMMAF determinou que as ações de Askhabov durante o tempo de parada constituíram violação grave das Regras Unificadas das Artes Marciais Mistas e justificavam desqualificação, independentemente das circunstâncias que envolveram a interrupção inicial.”
Ekson ficou com a vitória por desqualificação. A resolução formal do conselho dizia: “O Conselho da DMMAF decidiu, portanto: anular o resultado original e declarar Reinaldo Ekson Oliveira vencedor por desqualificação (DQ). Impor a Khusein Askhabov e à sua equipe de córner suspensão disciplinar de 12 meses de todos os eventos e atividades sancionados pela DMMAF, incluindo participação como lutador, treinador, córner ou em qualquer outra função, conforme o Código de Conduta da federação.”
A única aparição dele no UFC aconteceu em 2023, contra Jamall Emmers, derrota por decisão unânime e a primeira de sua carreira profissional. A organização desistiu de um confronto planejado com Daniel Pineda mais tarde naquele ano, depois de sua prisão na Tailândia: o Phuket News informou que ele foi interrogado por alegações de sequestro, tortura e extorsão, e reportagens posteriores disseram que as acusações contra ele e um parente foram retiradas.
