Yoell's cheating is infuriating

[Legendary]

I agree with most of this, but I no longer judge Yoel for the Kennedy fight because Kennedy fought dirty as well so he got some of his own medicine.

I love when people make this argument, because its a shitty one. False Equivalency. Tim's infraction was a parking ticket compared to Yoel's not answering of the stool, which was like a felony. Should of been immediately DQd

Another malcapinerules thread....








And he's ranting again.

Yoel Bless. Never forget. Don't forget.

Fucking Troll, that's like saying it's okay to sideswipe someone and leave the scene, but send someone to jail for parking in a handicap spot.

I've been watching a bunch of Romero fights on fight pass and this dude is a fuckin cheater like no other. I don't think I've watched a fight yet that he hasn't intentionally done something dirty. From sitting on stool to long, pouring water on himself, grabbing opponent's shorts, grabbing fence to avoid takedown, hitting on the back of head, 12/6 elbows, eye pokes, etc. His bag of tricks is full AF. There's no way I can support this guy. I hope Bisping beats the fuck out of this cheater. And I feel sorry for any chick that ends up dating this guy. He's the type of guy to stick his thumb in a girl's butt and then ask her if it's ok afterwards. And he should have three extra losses on his record: Kennedy, Jacare, and Weidman.

I'm with you 110%

The dude is the biggest cheat in the game, which is weird since he probably doesn't NEED to cheat to win. Dirtiest fighter to come along since Paul Harris, though, no doubt.

Pretty sure you are wrong there buddy. I'd rather have an opponent get a little stool time rather than hold my glove and deliver indefensible uppercuts.

What kennedy did was worth of a warning...What Romero did was an automatic dq...

You know those were the punches that led to the whole stoolgate incident right?

Not getting up from your stool at the start of the round would actually result in a TKO loss. HOWEVER, Big John is the one who KEPT Yoel on that stool. Big John fucked up big time on that one.

And in his next fight he'll battle a master of the underhanded arts, Michael Bisping.

Couldn't find any pics of his shorts and cage grabbing against Chael (3 short and 5 mostly top of the cage grabbing in rd 1, 2 cage in rd 2 and 1 cage and repeatedly warned for strikes to the back of the head in rd 3) but upon re-watch it was top notch.

Id imagine Kennedys strikes were illegal cuz he was grabbing Yoels glove, in which case isnt Yoel allowed up to 5 minutes to recover? No different than a nut shot or eyepoke in my opinion

I would say cheating is when
GSP was greasing and didn't get much flack. Many opponents said this after they fought him and was even doing it between rounds.
Now that is blatant cheating.

Yes, yes he did.

And that was just from a minute or two after the fight. Not to mention the insane amount of hate that came out of these forums because of it.

People were obsessing over these videos.

Uhuh and meanwhile the fans and media pretty much just laughed it off and called BJ, Sherk, Hughes among others sore losers.

 

[ArtemV]

Barring the stoolgate, most fighters grab the fence, eye poke, grab shorts or low blow other fighters. It happens in mostly every fight.

What are you talking about it? Dana white was infuriated and the media kept the story strong for six weeks. Also, the NSAC still took it seriously and investigated it so........ he did get flak. Plus the fans didn't laugh it off. Greasegate is still sour apples to half the people on sherdog who were around then. It was a big deal. I think you're laughing off the fact that a lot of people took it seriously.

-Tin
-WHAT THE FUCK

Tin bwahahaha man i don't get tired listening to Yoel say Tin.

Yoel Romero is the Ric Flair of MMA! woooooooooooo!

Romero comes from an international level freestyle wrestling background. It's a pretty dirty sport. A lot of the "cheating" techniques you see in MMA originated there. A lot of greasing (or watering) and slapping and small joint stuff and singlet grabbing and forearms to the bridge of the nose and headbutting and even pinching the skin of the thigh against the mat by stepping on it, etc, etc, whenever a guy figures he can get away with it.

At the high levels, there's often a lot of leeway given for this type of "gamesmanship." Officials figure it's a fight, and so yeah, sometimes it's gonna be a fight. Either you can deal with it, or you can't.

Complimentary scene from Foxcatcher (this is pretty accurate as far as the way these guys think and train and compete):

You forgot about the time he shit his pants. Completely threw his opponent off his game. Who was that against? I think brunson if I remember correctly.
