Calgary commission finds no fault in Shiela Bird vs. Kim Couture stoppage

The Calgary Combative Sports Commission has cleared Len Koivisto, the referee who oversaw Sheila Bird vs. Kim Couture, of wrongdoing after an "in-depth investigation" following a July 8 bout in which Couture was choked unconscious.

"No further action or investigations into the officiating of Mr. Koivisto will be required by the Commission," stated a release issued Thursday.

Video that circulated after the bout, which took place at an event titled "AX Combat 1" held at the Calgary Telus Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, showed Bird lock in the rarely seen choke that put Couture to sleep just under the two-minute mark.
