anyone ever get called for spiking?

[Bob Sapp]

The only person that Spiked and got in trouble for it was ..




Edit: oh wait nvm. Not that kind of spiking.

 

[ZipZito]

Didn't cain spike jds in the 3rd fight and finish him at the very end of that fight?

 

[gevoudane]

Rampage had one. It only became a spike because the opponent tried to escape at the wrong time. Looked pretty narley.

 

[Tugboat]

And as dangerous as a suplex is they’re legal.

 

[voodoo chile1]

unfortunately, only called if someone actually breaks their neck

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

In other words Lawler vs Askren was legal.

Yes

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

No, I don't believe it's ever been called in the UFC.

Marquardt vs Leites
Round 3

Nate Marquardt had 2 fouls called against him vs Thales Lietes, but neither one was for the pile driver. He lost by majority decision.

 

[Threetrees]

Any time a fighter deliberately tries to drop a fighter on the top of their head, it's a foul. The only exceptions are when you're defending a submission

Read the rules. You're wrong.

 

[VVarhead]

Rule is obsolete because every throw has an arch to it, John Mccarthy explained it pretty good.
Referees ignore the rule because it's stupid anyway and they can just pretend the throw had an arch to it even if it's a straight piledriver it wont be 100% vertical.

 

[cmw43]

Marquardt was dirty as hell in this fight.

He got away with the piledriver but lost a point for a knee to a grounded opponent and another for an elbow.

 

[tonyDaTiger]

It's pretty hard to get a spike foul called actually.

Incorrect. If it means anything to you, John McCarthy has addressed this issue before too. Sorry, but you’re mistaken.

From the unified rules:

“Spiking the opponent to the canvas onto the head or neck (pile-driving):
A pile driver is considered to be any throw where you control your opponent's body placing his feet towards the sky with his head straight down and then forcibly drive your opponents head into the canvas or flooring material. It should be noted when a fighter is placed into a submission hold by their opponent, if that fighter is capable of elevating their opponent they may bring that opponent down in any fashion they desire because they are not in control of their opponent’s body. The fighter who is attempting the submission can either adjust their position, or let go of their hold before being slammed to the canvas.”

Nothing in that paragraph refutes what I said. It mentions nothing about arches

 

[spargament]

People need to learn how to counter that

"if that fighter is capable of elevating their opponent they may bring that opponent down in any fashion they desire because they are not in control of their opponent’s body."


Next? Stahppp

[glavinator]

I always thought that one was pretty tame compared to the other big ones. He landed more with his face and only after both forearms connected with the ground. I mean shit, he was more or less horizantol when he hit the ground

[Superman Elbow]

thats a image i think of where their needs to be some kind of rules enforced.

you shouldnt be allowed to slam a guy on his neck, comeon. i get it there will be scenarios will the fighters will lose control and one might fall this way on accident, but a guy shouldnt purposefully pick a guy up and slam him in a position like that where they can cause serious injury. rampage had a terrible grip on that and still lifted and just said fuck it and slammed him. bader could have gotten really fucked up

Have you ever watched Greco or freestyle wrestling? That's all they do and no one gets hurt.

That's just a wizzer

There's no spiking in wrestling and yet they will toss your ass all over the place. You literally have to do the wwe pile-driver for it to be considered deliberate.
