Referee Misses Tap as Fighter Goes Unconscious During UFC Vegas 110 Prelim

Billy Elekana choked Kevin Christian unconscious after referee Chris Tognoni missed multiple taps during their light heavyweight prelim. Christian tapped the canvas instead of Elekana’s arm, leading to a delayed stoppage. “He tapped like 20 times,” Brendan Fitzgerald said on commentary. The finish capped a prelim card filled with submissions, including wins by Donte Johnson and Talita Alencar.
