What do you guys think?

Was Yoel in the wrong on that fateful night?
....was it Kennedy's fault?
....Big John's?
....Yoel's cornermen?

Bro do you have glutes?


Any man with Glutes, with an ass, sweats from the ass...Maybe you have a pancake ass....But as a Man with an ASS, I can tell you, my ass sweats....Is normal.



Stop hating on people with asses...thank you.
 
Both Kennedy and Romero cheated in that fight so there's not much to say.

You sweat shit? Weird
 
It was Big Johns fault and Yoel should've been DQ'd after about 10-15 seconds of refusing to stand up.

Yoel knew exactly what he did and even tried to apologize to Tim after the fight.
 
Kennedy almos KOed Yoel by grabing hes glove. Refs dont always look out for the fighters so siting on the stool to even the playing fieled seemed OK with me. if anything Kennedy should be DQed.
 
Kennedy landed illegal blows, but probably not deliberately.

The UFC appointed cutman put far too much vaseline on.

Big John told Romero to stay on the stool while they got someone back in to remove it. Yoel did exactly what he was told by the referee.


I don't get how this is up for debate anymore, you can watch it back and hear what's being said... Honestly, anyone who accuses Yoel of cheating here is either a troll or being wilfully ignorant.
 
They should have stopped the fight, made him remove the stool remnants from his drawers and carry on. Imagine if that got into someone's cut and they got e.coli or colitis?

This is exactly how I feel.

lol, this was settled a long time ago. A poster in the past broke it down quite clearly:

Your response doesn't really merit someone explaining to you what actually happened, but I'm feeling charitable today. Romero got about an 87 second break, give or take a second or two. The average break between rounds for that event excluding the 87 second break for Romero was approximately 70 seconds. Next, we take 70 away from 87 and instead of getting 30, we get 17.

Now, looking at why he got his extra time, it was down to he neutral, UFC-appointed cutman putting too much vaseline on and having to be called back into the cage. When Romero's corner was dragging their feet and forgetting the stool (whether on purpose or not), there was still plenty of time for McCarthy to restart the fight within the average 70 second threshold. Had McCarthy tried to restart the fight and Romero was unwilling, then there would be grounds for the uproar (and people claiming DQs or TKO wins for Kennedy). That never happened. When McCarthy was ready to restart the round after he had gotten the excess vaseline removed (again, this had nothing to do with Romero or his team), Romero was ready to fight. So, basically, Romero's corner were dragging their feet, but Romero got his 17 extra seconds exclusively because of what a neutral UFC-appointed cutman did.
 
Who cares?

A couple minutes before Stoolgate was Glovegate.
 
Yoel was just following the ref's instructions who called someone to check on him for whatever reason iirc. Tim on the other hand was cheating by grabbing his gloves and then threw a tantrum when the fight resumed. Very american hero of him.
