If Yoel targets Whittakers 'surgically repaired' knee is he dirty?

[real2124]

Would you think less of a fighter for targetting a weak spot? ie. A knee that recently had surgery.

I say focus on the win and sweep the leg.

 

[Edgy Brah]

I think it's low but legal.

 

[bjjHERRERA]

knucks said he fully expects him to target it, so... not really.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

If Whitaker presents the target then it's OK to strike it.

 

[VVarhead]

It's a fight, of course you're targeting weak points.

If someone targets Overeems glass chin nobody is saying "wow that was dirty".

 

[ZOD66]

This is probably Romero last chance to win that title and let a old man to do what ever he can

 

[ApplesVild]

Not at all, it's a fight.

 

[Londonjitsu]

Darren till did the same to wonderboy, it's a fight pal. If its legal who cares?

 

[Haifisch]

As long as he isn't taking Bobby's wife as a hostage and takes a shower before the fight, no, he ain't dirty.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

They should make which knee was operated on not public knowledge.

 

[PopeUrbanII]

I expect his knee to fully blow out this fight.

 

[MMA since 1993]

They should make which knee was operated on not public knowledge.

even if they did, the huge scar is there man.

 

[Quietus]

leg stomps (which is what Yoel injured him with in the first fight) should be banned, they can do the equivalent damage of a kneebar without giving the opponent a chance to tap, its unfair and can sideline fighters for years out of their career. Before any moron say "but in an armbar.."--you can tap out before your arm is broken, you can't tap out of a kick as it's landing and avoid having your ACL/MCL torn. Targetting the knee is bad for the sport, kicks should have to be well above or below it, not close enough to hyperextend it.

"is he dirty"

Umm, wtf. Has everyone forgotten how much of a cheat Yoel has been in his UFC career?

Yes, he's dirty as fuck. Has been since the Kennedy fight.

 

[goodone2]

He'd be a fool not to go for the knee.

 

[SOAzmayesh]

What lol???
You go for any and every weakness your opposition has, that's simple isn't it?
In any sport in any circumstance.

 

[in the liver]

yoel had a serious neck surgery where he couldve been paralysed for life, dyou think robert will punch him in the head? real nasty if he does

 

[ApplesVild]

That knee is s big red glowing target for the rest of Robert's career. He knows it and everyone he fights will know it too. It's his choice to get back in there.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Alls fair in love and war but I personally would think Yoel is a cunt but I wouldn’t blame him

 

[Joshuaace]

Every bit as dirty as when your opponent has excessive scar tissue, and you hit them in the face.
