    You missed my point, fighting when dehydrated by any amount is dangerous. Which is why they do it the day before. Only a few lbs is untended, but people always push the limits.

    No, I understood your point.

    And my point was that it is the job of the fighter to ensure they don't fight dehydrated.

    I think it was fair enough, the last few shots were definitely to the back of the head. Rather daft of Rogan to put Yamasaki on the spot like that.

    Bullsh*t! What the hell is that all about? How many times have we seen fights finish like that?

    Carlo Prater should be embarrassed!

    It happens alot and this was a bad call. Why didn't it happen with belfort against akiyama in rio last time.

    There where more shots to the back of the head than Rogan would lead one to believe. Remember, it's anything behind the ears. Rogan was out if line in my opinion. He's supposed to be impartial. Why put Mario on the stop like that.

    Mario knows well that he fúcked up.
    Mariodidnt **** up. If the illegal blows were significant enough then he pauses the action, but they weren't do he ended it, rightly.

    Bull**** decision by the judges. I'm raging cos I had Silva by KO. I'm hoping that it's reviewed, but unlikely cos there's no AC.

    Not true.

    It's the Mohawk Rule. if you hit someone on the back of the head where Chuck Liddell would've had hair, it's illegal. Otherwise, legal.

    Does the Ref have a the power to DQ a result like that?

    Joe Rogan was very unprofessional there - the ref has a tough job, unfair to put him on the spot like that after the fight.

    S.

    What replay did you watch? He hit him once in the back of the head. It was the third last punch.

    And if it is it'll only be overturned to a No-Contest.

    If they turn up to weign in at 173 they've missed weight.

    It's their job to make sure they're 170-171 on the day.

    You're wrong. Every time I've fought the ref details the rule very strictly. Think of a pair of headphones over the head. Anything behind the headphones is illegal.

    Ia it different in other regions?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 120 ✭✭Pin_Cushion


    Still outraged at that nonsense.

    UFC hires these refs under private contracts because MMA isn't under a commision in Brazil. Looks like they're contracted the referees to answer questions from the colour commentator. Really bad situation.

    Bad move from Mr Fertita IMO.

    The unified rules use the Mohawk variation.

    Paul Harris beautiful to watch. Still showing bjj as one of the cornerstones of MMA that can win a fight in a flash. Can't wait to see him again.
