Celine Haga choked out Amy Montenegro last night at Invicta FC 21, but she still ended up losing the fight.

Haga rendered Montenegro unconscious with a rear-naked-choke late in round three. Since the referee didn’t notice Montenegro was out before the final horn went, however, it was sent to the scorecards. Montenegro was awarded the fight with 29-28 scores across the board.

Since the fight took place, veteran referee John McCarthy informed MMA Fighting that the bout should have been awarded to Haga, since Montenegro was out cold at the final horn.

You can watch the fight’s final moments below.
