Yes it was blatant cheating but the ref and announcers refused to acknowledge it even after watching the replay. Bisping said something along the lines of “These things happen all the time” while showering the cheater with praise.

It’s become really clear these last few years the announcers are being told who to hype up.

Bisping's commentary regarding the cheating in that fight was honestly tough to listen to. Bisping spent his whole damn career complaining about alleged "cheaters" and then that nonsense happens right in front of his face and when he has the chance to actually address it in cage, he says "these things happen all the time"?!?
Lmao, f*ck outta here with that pathetic nonsense. I could care less how anyone in here feels about Vanessa personally, cheating is cheating and that sh*t was blatant as hell. Wtf is the point of having replay if they refuse to use it?

The tips of her fingers are barely inside the glove. I wouldn’t expect a ref to necessarily catch that or call a time out. Fingers catching the rims of gloves is probably one of the most common occurrences. I’m not saying she wasn’t intentionally using the cuff as leverage but the last thing Vanessa should be doing is losing focus midfight. She can protest but she took her head out of the fight and threw a fit instead of actively defending.

Barely? Try looking again. Regardless it’s clearly being done to gain an advantage.

He’s toeing the company line. It’s clear Amorim was the one the company preferred to win.

Ya I’m not excusing it but I’ve seen much worse. This is a common and even an inevitable scenario that comes with hand fighting and wrist control in a match, with the gloves being designed the way they are. Maybe the cuff edges need to be elastic so they are more snug. Hard for me to see the outrage here because this type of thing happens a lot. The key here is don’t stop fighting.

You wouldn’t do it vertically unless you were trying to cheat. Amorim even tried to spin some bullshit postfight that she was grabbing her wrists horizontally but was proved wrong be the replay.

I don't know that it will do her any good, but I would appeal.
