This fight created a lively controversy concerning the controversial fall of Modou Lo. In an action outside the enclosure, the King of Arenas appears to touch the ground at shoulder level. According to Max Mbergane, Siteu’s manager: “Modou Lô hit the ground with his shoulder, which is a clear fall,” declared the former wrestler at the end of the fight.
However, when we take a look at the CNG regulations, there is no downfall of Modou. The verdict is defined in the CNG regulations at the level of chapter IX, in article 37 as:“A wrestler is knocked down when he falls on his back, his stomach, lying on his side, his back, his head, all four supports, not including his feet, and when he sits on his heels,”can we read in the regulations of the wrestling management committee.
