Did Joe Rogan Just Make Up the Rules?

11. Groin attacks of any kind: Any attack to the groin area including, striking, grabbing, pinching or twisting is illegal. It should be clear that groin attacks are the same for men and women.

Is there a rule I'm missing, because this does not say anything whatsoever about 'body first', it just says 'any attack to the groin'. Nothing about sequence, nothing about initial impact, so where has Rogan got this from?

Looking for clarification on whether there's something missing here that appears elsewhere?

I think at one point Anik (is it?) even said "they're saying the heel is a problem in my ear piece" or words to that effect.

So whoever was in the production truck seems to understand the rules haha

Rogan’s no different than a drunk fan screaming from the front row at this point in his career.

Thing is, every time anyone rewatches that fight they're gonna have to hear Rogan screaming misinformation.

But then, that's how his podcast took off, BOOM!

Yeah that’s pretty much his thing.

What is the saying around Sherdog again? Mute your audio and watch the fight lmao. Maybe this is one of those situations

Joe's an idiot. He's known for it.

What happened and what was said?

Jake Matthews landed a teep-type kick with the toes planted into the belly, but also caught the cup with his heel.

Because the cup was hit after the belly, Rogan decided it was perfectly legal and screamed about it for the rest of the fight, and even brought it up in the interview lol

Jake Matthews said "well the ref said it hit low, so that was that".

Rogan cooked his brain with drugs

Watch it on replay. That was a clear kick to the liver. The groin was not impacted. Darius was faking, grabbing his nuts to buy time.

Stupid man, Stupid rule.

It wasn’t a groin attack it was a liver/midsection attack that had some secondary cup impact.

As far as what the ruling is I have no idea. If a secondary impact is judged the same as the initial impact then the ref was correct. If the secondary impact is not judged the same as the initial impact then Joe is right.

If you are actually hurt to the body you don't even have the ability to fake a nut shot. The heel clearly landed to the cup.

If it had any cup impact, it's a foul as far as I can tell.

The toes landed legal but the heel clipped the cup on the follow through.

I think it was a dive but I would’ve taken it to buy some recovery time.

Incidentally, faking being hurt actually is against the unified rules. Never seen a point taken for it.

just like I can’t recall the last point deduction for a cage grab.

More like a stoned fan, and I say it being a Stoned fan myself lol

I think the toes tô the body did most of the damage and took him down (there was a lot of body shots before) then he Felt the low too and used the time tô recover from both.

The dude was faking, bottom line. The foot barely grazed his cup but hit solidly in the abdomen. He was hurt from the abdomen not the barely grazing his cup. By strct definition was it an illegal strike? Probably so, but he was faking nevertheless.
