The eventual decision, following an appeal by Alexio, was that Alexio did not commit a foul, so Alexio won the match and hence became the ISKA Oriental Rules World Champion. A title he subsequently lost in another controversial match against Stan Loginidis in Melbourne, Australia.

Overall an extemely unsatisfactory outcome as a consequence of having an untrained referee licensed by the State to supervise a major PPV TV event. The ISKA wanted the commission to agree to a change, and they accepted changes on the undercard. We could not persuade them to change out the main event. Pat Burleson is a well known and respected martial artist, but as this match shows, without training he was way out of his depth in the ring that night.

Robert Mason ISKA World Commissioner.

Following an appeal by Alexio I watched the video at least 100 times, and I ruled that there was no evidence Alexio broke the rules. Cikatic was fouled by the referee, who continued to hold his glove with his left hand, while saying "fight" and indicating "fight" by cutting down with his right hand. Cikatic did not follow a basic concept of combat to "protect yourself at all times". Additionally, the unauthorized entry of Cikatics' second into the ring gave grounds for disqualification.

The referee was licensed by the Nevada commission, despite efforts to have someone more experienced brought in. The ISKA was asked to sanction the bout for the World Title a week before the event and we could not get a referee change. The Nevada commission had full legal authority. At ringside, neither myself, as the ISKA Commissioner, nor the Nevada Commissioner could get a decision from the referee. We had to decide whether the final attack by Alexio was as foul or not. The ref was uncommited.

I think they both got misled by the referee, cicatic thought he said break, alexio thought he said fight. cicatic got punched twice, but it didnt look like ha HAD to quit, he looked fine after 2 minutes. they could hav continued the fight caus none of the fighters broke any rules, the ref made a mistake. anyway, i think alexio would have won. near the end it looked like he was just getting started.

@chungadaddy I agree with what you said in your next posting! The referee and Cikatic both made an error! Not Dennis! Dennis Alexio did what he was supposed to do! Fight until the ref clearly, clearly, clearly breaks the fighters! Which, according to you, the announcers and everyone else did not happen! Cikatic acted like he was not in a professional fight! "PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES"

Yes, I fought for Jacob "Stich" Duran, ASK the guy in Dennis's Corner with the ASK Jacket on!
