Dirtiest Tactic Seen in Modern UFC?

Anderson, Condit, Holm, Vera, Overeem and more all do the kick. Its hardly Jones kick (or dirty). He is just the most hated fighter that throws it. People were loving it when Anderson was doing it years before Jones
Nobody even mentions Rountree finished a fight with an oblique kick
 
Penn held the choke on Jenns way longer than any sub Palheres ever did

Here's the difference...a choke will put you out which is shitty, but Palheres ripped knees apart with heel hooks.

Thats true, but the longest Palheres ever held a sub was 1 second. Dirty, but i 100% think its because he is stupid. Penn was holding the choke much longer and wouldn't let go even after the ref tried pulling him off. Penn was doing it to be a dick, Palheres was just a moron

Well there is the whole potential brain damage thing with oxygen being cut off from the brain.

Or death..

It takes 2 seconds to tear a knee, takes awhile to actually kill someone with a choke, especially when a ref is right there sir.

Granted Palheres is definitely stupid, but he does it all the time, even in BJJ tournaments.
Takes Palheres a second to tear your knee to shreds.

BJ was definitely being a twat there though sir.

Actually, when I saw this I thought that Jones was really a fighting genius. Dunno why this technique is forgotten, because it looks pretty effective.
Agreed
Its not dirty or illegal even, its a testimony to Jones's fight IQ
The eyepokes though .....

Miles Johns vs Kevin Natividad.
Blatant glove grab which lead to the KO.

Not only was it not changed to a DQ or NC, Johns was giving a performance bonus for this.
Pretty terrible how this situation was handled, the commentary don't even point it out when the replay shows it lmao.

I Can't find the original where BJM explains it but here is Rogan explaining what him and BJM talked about.


Start at 2:30

Pay attention to what Joe says
"Big John said if he could do it over he would've made Yoel stand up."
BJM ordered Yoel to stay on the stool which helped Yoel but wasn't done intentionally by Yoel. Yoel just profited from BJM's instructions.

Keep in mind Joe is explaining what Big John told him to Kennedy himself.

Can you answer why everyone tries to act like Yoel did something dirty but no one brings up Kennedy blatantly cheating which led to the situation in the first place?



People remember it because Kennedy whined about the stool thing for years afterwards, but nobody ever really pointed out Kennedy's glove grab at the time.
 
My personal favorite is purposefully misleading the competition and the UFC that all is on track, then showing up to the event and grossly missing weight. We have seen this little game before and unfortunately it rears it ugly head from time to time, there’s no room for BS to gain a competitive advantage such as this in a sport like as MMA.
