Masidal's Two punches were despicable

I love everything about those 2 punches ben deserved it and as masvidal said go watch tennis or someshit.

You wanna know what's classless? Going on like you outclassed Robbie Lawler when you know he didn't tap and you know he wasn't out. That was absolutely classless. This is what he gets for it and going on as if he didn't rightfully lose that fight. The universe aligned to give that dork ben askren the most bitter piece of humble pie ever.

JBG does not take kindly to mocking saint lawler..

I think you fight to the end as you never know. That being said once it was over Jorge saw the condition of Ben and you would like to see a little bit of human compassion and care come in. I don't think I would mock someone if they were in that state no matter what they did beforehand. Then in the interview kept it up instead of even offering a fake my thoughts are with Ben and hope he is okay. Just didn't sit right with me.
 
the mocking at the end is typical childish behavior that Masvidal always shows, but you can't blame him for the two punches afterwards. Askren till this point had a great chin, you never know when its over.

That's how I saw it. Extra punches can be explained away by adrenaline but the behavior after is who Masvidal really is, a classless punk. Masvidal should have been happy Askren was selling the fight and helping to make him money.
 
It was fine, Askren has a great chin as shown in the Lawler fight. You pour it on him till the ref stops it.

Why do people believe fighters are incapable of using their own judgment? What if the ref is completely incompetent? You think the guys should just kill each other?

Plenty of better fighters and better men have walked off in similar scenarios.

Let’s not pretend he was worried about Ben getting up.

Please.
 
This fight is a great litmus test to figure out whether someone has a shred of common decency and a working moral compass. Those extra shots are indefensible. TS stated why but it shouldn't even need to be said.

It's like when Hendo hit Bisping after his KO. It had nothing to do with this bullshit "fight til the ref pulls you off" or "YOU NEVER KNOW" and everything to do with the dude just trying to get some extra shots in on a guy he feels a type of way about. Hendo admitted it and so would Masvidal.
 
Have you ever seen a guy get KO'd and then regain consciousness? If you aren't new to MMA, you have. Keep punching until the ref stops it. I suspect that you are just a salty Mas hater or Askren fanboy.

Show me a single instance in MMA history of someone going into the fencing response following a KO, then regaining consciousness and going on to fight.
 
I'm usually all in favour of fighters continuing until the ref pulls them off

But in this case, Masidal landed the knee which was one movement. He had to readjust his position after landing the knee and could clearly see Askren was out stiff as a board. He saw this then consciously went in to punch a totally out stiff Askren.

This is not like a fighter who has started a sequence of punches on an opponent and cant tell if they are out.

And this is not like an opponent who was stunned and still wiggling around, this is an opponent who was totally stiff and out

This was a dangerous action and should not be celebrated

Then regardless of the trash talk, mocking an opponent cleanly out cold is as classless as it comes

Go cry some more soy boy.

Don't talk shit before a fight if you want sportsmanship.
 
lol he was laid out with his head curled in and his limbs stretched like rigor mortis, doesn't get any more obvious than that that he's out. and masvidal took a good look at him too. doesn't get any worse than that.
Does your post address my point that fighters have regained consciousness after being KO’d? I’m not saying it wasn’t obvious that Ben was out, I’m saying you fight until stopped because there have been cases where fights continued after a KO.

It's a fight. You strike until the ref stops you.
Have you never watched MMA before? Don't understand the rules?
Also did you not see the Lawler fight?
Ben has an incredible chin. Never take the chance in a fight. It's the hurt business.
 
Yep, it was pretty disgusting. People will argue from a position of who they're a fan of, but they should think more rationally about it.

Why? Mas is supposed to decipher the depths of the KO instantaneously? Or is Mas supposed to fight until told not to?
