#2 Chas Skelly - A winner in a different timeline?

Was Chas Skelly's fight stolen from him?

Chas Skelly took on Bobby Moffett during their fight at UFC Denver, but unlike most other fights on the card, this one did not end in a convincing manner.

Chas Skelly had control during most of his fight against Bobby Moffett, and until the last moments of his fight, he never looked like he was in any danger of losing control, dominating for the most part.

However, in the end, Moffett cinched the D'Arce choke around Skelly, and the referee called the fight when he thought Skelly was unresponsive, and Moffett won convincingly.

Except, he did not.

Replays were checked when Skelly demanded for them, saying that he had most definitely not been out. The replays showed that while it appeared that Skelly's left hand flopped around (what the referee, Tim Mills, based the call on), he was possibly actually moving around loosening his body to attempt an escape.

There is no way to be sure what happened, and with Skelly insisting he was not out, one cannot help but wonder, would he have managed to win if the fight was allowed to continue?
