Louisiana Commission Declaresradach Vs. Berger No-contest
From Josh Hedges/Zuffa: Louisiana Commission Declares Radach vs. Berger No-Contest On June 13, 2002, the Louisiana State Boxing and Wrestling Commission voted 7-0 ruling the UFC 37 welterweight bout between Benji Radach and Steve Berger to be a no-contest. The bout took place in Bossier City, Louisiana on May 10. Radach was originally declared the winner of the bout by referee stoppage due to strikes. The Berger camp filed an official protest with the commission after the fight citing that Radach used illegal techniques to win the fight. "After reviewing the tape of the fight, it was very clear that Mr. Radach used illegal punches to gain the decision," said Louisiana commissioner Al Topham. "No disrespect to Benji Radach he is a great warrior. Hopefully someday he and Steve will do it again," said Berger’s manager and father, Steve Berger Sr. UFC Pre-Fight Events Just a reminder that there are several pre-fight events going on before the UFC on Saturday at the Bellagio.
