has anyone in ufc history every had a decision overturned via an appeal?
 
Few and far in between. Rumble has a loss due to eye poke, and the commission wouldn't overturn it.
 
Weidman got stopped by a legal blow.

Compare that to Rumble who got stopped by a completely illegal blow (eye poke) but they couldn't do anything cause there was no replay or 'polling' at the time where the fight was held.

well, you could click the links :)

1. "Due to the factors involved and after receiving Mr. Andrew Dober ́s formal appeal, CABMMA has defined a fourth provision...."

2. "After receiving Francimar Barroso ́s formal appeal on November 19, 2016, the Brazilian Athletic Commission (CABMMA) has done a detailed analysis of the newly implemented "Instant Replay" guideline as a tool to insure fairness in...."

and so on and so on
 
They dont want to admit that they make mistakes.

It's amazing they overturned Lenz-Oliveira and not,for example, Faber-Rivera or Ellenberger-Masvidal. Those guys shouldn't have that TKO loss on their record.
 
I have seen many "overturned" in fighter records, i was watching Dana´s reality show, apparently Serra vs Din Thomas was announced as a win for Serra, then overturned as a win for Din Thomas, so shit can happen.

yes. that was one of several times when the judges simply did wrong math. didn't add numbers down a column correctly.

another example was DJ v Ian McCall - they announced a DJ win, and afterward they realized it was a majority draw. so maybe in that case it may not have been a math problem (like the Serra bout was) but possibly they thought a 28-28, 28-28, 29-28 wasn't a draw.

Or like Woodley vs Thomson, but those were corrections still in the cage, but i have seen some decisions overturned, Chris has a chance to get a NC.

ya that was funny. i was sitting there yelling "they're wrong, it's a draw." and then i corrected myself with "except it's also the first event in NY, and there's a chance there is no majority draw in NY, so maybe they're right. holy shit." i seriously confused the shit outta all the casuals in the room lol
