DMMAF disqualifies Khusein Askhabov for actions during a
\nreferee timeout against Reinaldo Ekson<\/h2>\n

The Danish Mixed Martial Arts Federation (DMMAF) reviewed the
\nincident and overturned the result.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving reviewed the incident, DMMAF has determined that Askhabov\u2019s
\nactions during the timeout constituted a serious violation of the
\nUnified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts and warranted disqualification,
\nregardless of the circumstances surrounding the initial stoppage,\u201d
\nDMMAF wrote in an official statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ekson was declared the winner by disqualification. The federation
\nalso suspended Askhabov and his corner team for 12 months from
\nDMMAF-sanctioned events and activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DMMAF Board has therefore decided to: Overturn the original
\nresult and declare Reinaldo Ekson Oliveira the winner by
\ndisqualification (DQ). Impose a 12-month disciplinary suspension on
\nKhusein
\nAskhabov<\/a> and his corner team from all DMMAF-sanctioned events
\nand activities, including participation as a fighter, coach,
\ncornerman, or in any other capacity, in accordance with the
\nfederation\u2019s Code of Conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Askhabov\u2019s lone UFC appearance came against Jamall
\nEmmers<\/a> in 2023. He lost by unanimous decision, the first defeat
\nof his professional career.<\/p>\n

Later that year, the UFC canceled Askhabov\u2019s scheduled bout with
\nDaniel Pineda after an arrest in Thailand. According to a report
\nfrom
\nPhuket News<\/a>, he was questioned by authorities over allegations
\nof kidnapping, torture and extortion. Reports subsequently said
\ncharges against Askhabov and a relative were dropped. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
