[edit] Long vs. Maddalone

During his last fight against fan favorite Vinny Maddalone an unintentional headbutt occurred during the 5th round, and Maddalone was forced to stop fighting, giving Julius Long a victory. However, later on that month the result was reversed to a 'No Contest', because Long had tested positive for marijuana.
