PBP UFC 301 - Pantoja vs. Erceg Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat. 5 / 4 at 10pm ET

[Killer Kadoogan]

Knees to the head of a downed opponent are legal so long as you pull a sweet backflip first?

Absolute trash.

absolute trash take with an absoluate trash rule set from an absolute trash org

 

[The Boomerang]

My mouf is numb

 

[king hippo]

That was total bullshit actually.

yeah, kinda. doesn't matter if he hid it under a cool flip, still an illegal hit.

 

[MDoza]

Commission has to turn that into a No Contest tomorrow.

Let it stand for now so Brazil doesn't riot.

 

[Pechan]

Why is this clown still allowed to do illegal shit?

Cry moar.

 

[CorninginChristianburg]

Yeah maybe fighters shouldn't do backflips on a grounded fighter. You could EASILY stomp on their head. Just no reason to do it.

Oh no, you could do a damage causing move in what is allegedly a fight. Heaven forbid.

 

[Poirierfan]

Don't even mention the illegal knee DC, good boy. Smfh

 

[battouter]

i think they gonna overturn that win after the event

 

[Kalmah]

Real mma fans want knees and soccer kicks

 

[Siver!]

That isn't the first time that backflip stuff was controversial, he's going to cost himself if he keeps landing that one downed opponents...

But who cares, he was way better than Ihor.

 

[markys00]

This was the right call. Even if illegal, it didn't have meaningful impact in the fight ending sequence. It was unintentional anyway

 

[dog y]

Okay that's illegal

Sod off bugger

 

[Jackonfire]

lol No.

Yeah, Khamzt will duck him harder than he did Nate

 

[luckyshot]

Pussy DC not even asking him about the illegal knee. DC is such a shill, knows where his bread is buttered. Obviously. Look at him.

 

[dmwalking]

Y’all gotta stop being so pussy. It was incidental. It didn’t KO him. Clearly the guy was able to keep fighting and get up to his feet. He just got caught in a solid guilly.

 

[Domitian]

Fuck no nor should he. I'm fine with backflips into guards.

He's a better fighter when he doesn't try to please the crowd. I mean it's cool and all and I don't care but if it backfires well fuck.

 

[Human Bass]

Knees to the head of a downed opponent are legal so long as you pull a sweet backflip first?

Absolute trash.

It wasnt to the head, just close

 

[Jman]

It didnt land on his head.

If it did he would be dead.

Right? Thats a knee coming straight down onto your head. Nobody's getting up from that. The replays show that Michel's thigh made contact with Ihor's chest.

 

[Blastbeat]

the shin to the head wasnt intentional and didnt ultimately lead to the finish so i guess they're not that concerned
