Jeremy Stephens criticised by members of the underground forum for follow up strikes.....

Neither is Jones, kicking a knee is a legitimate, legal technique. Neither is GSP, holding a fighter on the ground and doing enough to prevent a stand up is a legitimate, legal technique. Idiots that get mad at them for doing what they are supposed to be doing should stop watching MMA since they apparently can't handle it. Go check out golf.
pretty sure you're not allowed to attack the joints i.e knees.

Only rule regarding attacking joints being a foul, is small joint manipulation.

thanks for that, and I was only really commenting on it because I've seen it in the back and forths about Jones bending fighter's knees backwards.

Jones get's shit more than most though so probably just that.

No worries. I think most people just want them to be illegal. Probably because it's one of Jones' best weapons.
 
I find that Kendall Grove always gives out a few extra shots after it's clear that his opponents are senseless.

That's a fair argument. Did I ever say it wasn't? All I did say was that this isn't the same thing because this isn't a fighting style or technique.

You're still defending his thuggish behavior?
 
Nothing wrong with following up until the ref stops you. It's better than missing an opportunity to finish which gives the opponent a chance to come back on you.
 
Jeremy is king of the post-KO flying right hand of doom

And there is nothing wrong with that

WAR STEPHENS!
 
We should lobby for more athletic and explosive refs to put an end to this.
