PBP UFC Nashville - Lewis vs. Teixeira Official PBP Discussion: Sat 7/12 at 6pm ET

[ShadowRun]

The fence double grab made me not care about the stoppage

I agree if he didn’t grab the cage like that and stood up it’s more of a legit argument. He started wrestling the ref though he was out of it some what

 

[MMA4Life]

This is the only correct opinion to have. Anything else is misinformation and needs to be punished.

Why are you never in the running for poster of the year? Or @europe1 just giving you your flowers brother. Fun night of fights.

You literally just take a point during the next stoppage in action... It's what they teach to not disadvantage Lewis for a possible finish.

But Tex has been allowed to improve his position due to egregious fouling. As a ref you cannot abide that. Lewis was owed his G&P position vs a rocked opponent. So some sort of intervention is needed.

 

[gentel]

Not really defending the stoppage but it is true that if you can only get back to your feet by illegal fence grab, then you're not able to get back to your feet legitimately, then it's sorta reasonable to call it a TKO

 

[rorschach51]

Stoked for Lewis but that was one of the worst stoppages ever.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Lewis balls were on FIRE tonight

 

[MMA4Life]

Hope everyone has a great rest of their night. This was a fun one.

 

[Aurelian]

Jailton/Volkov winner but after that the UFC will be in trouble...

Valter Walker just got his 3rd straight sub by heel hook. HW is so trash he might just heel hook the entire fucking division.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Imagine calling Ronda's fine ass with her wife next to him lol.

Real men scoff at the idea of being tied to just one woman. Keeps 'em on their toes and totally changes the relationship dynamic. They don't get nearly as uppity if they know you've got multiple options.

 

[Steely]

It's probably instinct to cage grab when you're getting punched by Lewis up against the fence. Should have just deducted a point. That stoppage was trash

To argue the other side, if you must commit egregious fouls to escape a dangerous and potentially fight-ending situation, then the ref's split-second decision is on you.

 

[SuperNerd]

All right guys, its time to get serious about a 10 count in MMA... I think Boxing got it right.

I don’t think they are allowed to do that right? I’m pretty sure if a foul occurs you have to pause the action right away.

So it’s either:
1. Stop the fight
2. Pause the action and take a point while Derrick is trying to finish
3. Let Derrick try to finish but let Tex get away with the grabs

Name one other time in UFC history that a fight was stopped because a foul prevented a KO or TKO. You can argue that it's street justice but in no way is that a regulation stoppage.

 

[europe1]

Remove his hands from the cage or deduct a point after the fact.

That was atrocious.

He obviously wasn't quick enough to remove the fingers.

After the fact? In such a situation Tex would have been allowed to improve his position due to egregious fouling. As a ref you cannot abide that. Lewis was owed his G&P position vs a rocked opponent. So some sort of intervention is needed.

 

[Your Salad]

Remove his hands from the cage or deduct a point after the fact.

That was atrocious.

Nah, you have to go full sharia law and remove his hands from his body to send a message.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Walker could find himself in the title picture with the right matchups half the to fifteen cannot defend a heel hook I'd bet

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Oh you...(blushes). I imagine it's because I don't post here nearly often enough. I'm guessing at least half of Sherdog has no idea who I even am. And considering the political views of that half, I'd actually rather things stay that way TBH.

 

[Mind Mine]

When have you seen a fight stopped because someone grabs the fence?

When have you seen a ref run in to give a foul for a man climbing the cage like Spiderman and mush the ref in his head like a fucking little brother. I would stop the fight for that bullshut as well

 

[europe1]

How many instances have we seen of fouling ever preventing a stoppage? Particularly in situations like that?

EDIT: Brazilian roid lady vs redheaded Canadian chick. But that was eyegouging during an RNC and Canadian got it anyhow. Leech also eyegouged to escape Mattews guilly but that situation was more unclear.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I'll allow it.
