That was ultra illegal. You can’t jumping backflip summersault knee you opponent

This is real fighting.

 

[Luthien]

Jon Jones will take Tom down in their fight - then back away - do a crazy flip into the air and knee his brains back to England

 

[Ladder Master]

"It was legal enough"

Say what.

 

[aerius]

Pride rules?

It is now. Bring on the soccer kicks!

 

[king hippo]

didn't someone pull that off in japanese mma? might have been against aoki.

 

[don't ask]

lol Miriam is one of those women who sends marriage proposals to serial killers

 

[helax]

If you get back flipped on that's on you

 

[MDoza]

Real mma fans want knees and soccer kicks

well until they are part of the rule set, thats at least a point deduction, and fight should reset standing.

 

[podsox]

the shin to the head wasnt intentional and didnt ultimately lead to the finish so i guess they're not that concerned

The fight was a complete mismatch. Pereira was going to win anyway he liked but that was ridiculous

 

[Kalmah]

By the way, poor Ihor has another fight lined up for June against Sharaputdin.

How the fuck? They running his contract out before he can't renew is visa or something?

 

[TadDunbar]

Strickland and Costa need their own press conference

 

[AmonTobin]

Appears it didn't land flush or with full force but this is the type of strike governing bodies are worried about when they make a no grounded knee rule. Imagine a 205lbs of knee dropping on your jaw from a meter above after a running leaping start.. Could be devastating to the point of career-ending. I won't deny it looked awesome though.

 

[Ares Black]

Call it a win, let everyone get out of the country, then change it.

Maybe the commission overturns it to a NC but they wanted to make it out of the arena alive first.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

This was the right call. Even if illegal, it didn't have meaningful impact in the fight ending sequence. It was unintentional anyway

More or less my thoughts -- it was somewhat of a grasing connection. If the knee stunned him, I'd say something more should happen, but it wasn't a clean shot.

 

[contrail]

Yeah, Khamzt will duck him harder than he did Nate

If you don't see the fight as competitive idk what to tell ya. I wouldn't put money on it, that's for sure.

 

[Kryptt]

Fekk off with all that Felder...

 

[dog y]

If Pereira beats a legit dude next, he’s getting fast tracked for a title shot.

Fast tracked after 9 wins. Absurd

 

[Pechan]

That was ultra illegal. You can’t jumping backflip summersault knee you opponent

Yeah you can, enjoy the violence and stop whinning about bullshit rules that shouldn't exist.

 

[Poirierfan]

Y’all gotta stop being so pussy. It was incidental. It didn’t KO him. Clearly the guy was able to keep fighting and get up to his feet. He just got caught in a solid guilly.

I agree, but the rules be the rules. Just because they're in Brazil doesn't make it ok.

 

[Luthien]

lol Miriam is one of those women who sends marriage proposals to serial killers

I lost my feelings for him when he got murdered instead of murdering xD
