Wayne Buck on His Controversial Defeat at Harvey Hadden
Date submitted: 30 September 2008

Nottingham's Wayne Buck today revealed the truth behind his controversial defeat at Harvey Hadden on Saturday night.
 
Buck was beaten by big Italian Matteo Minonzio after top referee Marc Goddard ruled that he tapped.
 
Buck says he doesn't remember tapping the canvas.
 
"Halfway through the round I broke my hand on his head," said Buck.
 
"When I went down near the ropes I put my hand down to support myself and the pain was excruciating. It's a nasty break.
 
"I never tapped. Having said that, I couldn't have carried on with a broken hand anyway."
 
Buck says he wasn't fit enough to fight after the cut on his cheek was opened up in an attack in the city centre.
 
"I was also struggling with a knee injury, but I had sold over 300 tickets and didn't want to let anyone down," said Buck.
 
"I was top of the bill and I didn't want the show to be called off."
 
Despite the disappointment, Buck says he has no intention of retiring.
 
"No way," he said emphatically. "I'll be back.
 
"The fight was going to plan until I broke my hand. I don't want it to sound as though I'm making excuses, but everything went against me."
 
Buck's fight could be the last MMA action at Harvey Hadden this year.
 
Cage Warriors boss Tony McDonagh had hoped to stage a Night of Champions, with Michael Bisping chief guest.
 
But Carl Froch's re-arranged world title fight on December 6 has put paid to that.
