So, was Johnny Walker faking glove touch?

[Kwic]

He said he didn't, said he touched gloves prior to the fight starting so he wasn't even paying attention bla bla:

Johnny Walker denies ‘fake’ glove touch after upset over Zhang Mingyang at UFC Shanghai

Walker opened the fight with an alleged fake glove touch, immediately before trying a takedown

Even though he was touching gloves before the fight and after the fight started in other fights.


Ok, I created the gif. Attached as a file. Sorry for low frame rate.

What say you?

I think he faked. Legal but Piece of shit move. Glad he got handled a bit after that, not as bad as toddler Erick Silva but still.



For the record. I don't like glove touching after they touched it already so maybe I will cut him some slack for not going for that.

On the glove touch in general: faking a glove touch is always bad sportsmanship.
Here, I would have to see the opening sequence. I assume they touched gloves facing off, that's the "glove touch" in my opinion.

Guys will then right before the fight usually look at eachother and stick out a hand as a show of "Are we touchin gloves again?" and I've seen guys both say yes and no. When the ref puts us together explaining rules, that's when we touch gloves. I'm starting every fight with a flying knee or a Werdum side kick.

He faked a glove touch AND spoiled UFC's Chinese cash cow. Now he's pissed off Dana White and got bad sports karma.

Expect to see another hilarious Johnny Walker getting KO'd moment in his next fight

Khamzat vs Holland, Holland was going to touch gloves and then Khamzat faked it and grabbed him instead. Holland got a bad deal in that fight. Also don't get me wrong Khamzat would have tapped Holland anyways, Holland is suspect on the ground and very skinny, he ain't gonna stop Khamzat throwing him around, but I'm just saying it was a bit slimey.

I'll take subtle, but dirty nonetheless.

Anyone losing to Johnny Walker was bound to get exposed eventually

 

[Fedorgasm]

The ref even says if you want to touch gloves, do it now.

Once the fight starts then fight. Anyone who expects a glove touch is silly.

 

[HCS]

Yeah, he faked it. I called it out as soon as he did it in the PBP.

I wish guys would just stop touching gloves after the initial meeting in the middle with the ref. It leads to rats like Walker and Khamzat doing this unsportsmanlike crap.

Honestly only disatvanage of touching at the fight is you can´t opt to run or move forward building into monumentum of whatever you wanna start with. You can´t charge. Like a charged front kick ect ect. You are immediately giving out a predictble range for the very start, before they have felt you.

The lack of sportsmanship of that faked glove touch and cheap takedown was something Holland couldn't recover from, it made many fans lose respect for the wolf.

That underhanded move from Khamzat was more than a bit Slimy, it was with a capital S.

Seeing Walker initiate such a cowardly action is just dirty, he should be ashamed.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

The lack of backlash was because he fuct up 2 seconds later.

Well he wasn't far from getting KO'd from Zhang which literally threw away free win...and its like 90% that he is getting KO'D in next bout. I expect UFC to give him Oezdemir/Rakič or loser of Ulberg vs Reyes.

Funny fact - Walker wants to fight Jiri, even blasted about it on Oktagon event where he was cornerman. He reportedly talked about how much he wants fight with Jiri, cuz he have "recipe" and will win, etc... - Funny guy.

I'll take subtle, but dirty nonetheless.

Walker isn’t going for a glove touch there and Zhang shouldn’t expect him to.

The Khamzat one was really bad but both got to leave without getting crazy hurt. ( Kevins arm might of gotten fucked up.) TBH, Khamzat could of been hyper focused on Kevins legs and Kevin was like "strolling" into the middle. I just watched it and Kevin actually scrambled better than DDP but obviously was subbed. lol: its slimy but WTF was Kevin thinking, he started the hand raise like way late and was just hanging out behind the line.

 

[McSpikes]

He didnt fake a glove touch but he deserves all the hate for that piss poor TD attempt

 

[Tweak896]

When your chin is as bad as Walkers, it's really not cheating. Dude was just trying to get the playing field even.

 

[Ozze]

Don't think he did.

He came foward from the get go, hands up, not to touch.

Zhang wanted to, had his hand foward, but Walker chose to ignore it and shoot in.

So the question is, if your opponent extend his hands, is it "wrong" to just ignore it and blast him?

Yeah. Khamzat shot the exact same way he's done in a shit load of his fights. Only difference here is that he was fighting a retard who thought just because he held his hand up that Khamzat was going to pause what he was doing to give him a high five. And that's if Khamzat even noticed that he had his hand up for a high five at all..

Walker never extended his arm.

WTF is everyone crying about?

How much patty cake do we gotta play before we get to the smashy smashy?
