They were trying so hard to defend only to flip when they saw how deep it was

​@@gio6166 well it's cause it doesn't look like he actually bit him, also considering how deep that bite is, its weird he didn't really react to it

​​@@anthonygarcia3922 not really the amount of pain tolarance fighters have is crazy. Just look at the fight between Mikey Musumeci and Gantumur Bayanduuren. Bayanduuren had multiple excruciatingly painful legs injuries and refused to submit.

@@anthonygarcia3922Because bites aren’t that bad, you feel it AFTER when the adrenaline wears off

That fighter heard their commentary behind him. That's why he showed the camera.

I thought that was ridiculous. He should be fined on top of it too. Total coward move

Total Mike Tyson move.

@@MxMe-su1ch to be fair evander did consistently try to use his head to keep range and split Mike's eyebrow. Both were a bit dirty in that fight

@arizonatea3734 True. I was just referring to bloody bites that were clearly intentional. I know if my teeth were being pressed against my opponent I would feel horrible, and this looked like a full on Pac-Man.

@@MxMe-su1ch yea that arm bite was crazy, wasted any potential to be a pro fighter for that 🤦

He's done but so are you, you're completely unconscious. NO I WASN'T😂😂

Og joe is goated. Current joe is on to many drugs to think straight

funniest fight in ufc ever 🤣

​@@CloudianMH he was smoking a ton more back in those days as far as he has shared in interviews. He's a little too cushy and lax with his 15 plus year tenure and job security.

Definitely my favorite part, ha ha.

Realy?

Was it felony fights??!

If you cant beat em, bite em I guess lol. That's messed up though

2:52 Seeing him explaining how it happened to his corner was hilarious. The bite mark and his explanation don’t add up 😂

He wouldn't pass a sanity test.

This may be the single best comment I’ve ever read… this was perfectly worded & made me laugh immediately, I never thought about any of that, props to you

@@KingzKORT u been on the herb son 😂

Yeah, no.​@@Simpleman935

On a happier note Matt can actually hear now 😂 He's just gotten a new implant, now run the fight back 😂

I DO believe Jones threw the elbows on purpose. But it was a dumb call either way

literally watching his eyes roll back into his head on video and he's like "i was just tired"

@@cundionfirehe was literally blinking tho

he was literally doing the bryce mitchell and trying to argue he was not out

@@irenechavez5166 he was knocked out cold, eyes rolled back, one blink or not 😂

Still arguing while he's out cold tells he's not an honest man. Never been a fans of person like that. That's just his denial statements

And for having the guts to stand in there to answer the question in front of everyone. It'd be kinda cool if Joe would try to interview a referee when they mess up

He has before. Well at least with Yamasaki he did. ​@@agentcodybanx8909

@@agentcodybanx8909I wish they would do this but I think the commission won’t let them

bro he stomped his face of course the referee steps in😂 good ref either way

😂👊

these announcers were fresh from another sport ..

Well they also retracted that as soon as they actually saw the mark. They were clearly thinking it coulda been accidental till they saw the bite mark

😂😂

Bro was probably hungry after intense weight cutting...

He shouldn't have been mad it was a good call. Everyone thought he was out.

00​@@ButterBallTheOpossumfunny all the hype askren came in with and his only win in the ufc was questionable.

I was thinking the same thing. To go from trying to demolish another human, to immediately understanding Herb Dean is just top tier gentleman stuff. It made me respect him a ton

Same bro, I remember my exact reaction as well as those around me. "What the hell was that? *watched replay* oh NO! NO NO NO NAH!"

or connor mcgregors leg break

Facts

i saw it for the first time and this is a disgrace - what else should he do, he stopped twice and talks directly to the ref. Ref keeps it going for 30 sec pure hammering you see Hamill getting destroyed. Why not stop the fight earlier when it was clear as daylight after the mount that jones is dominating.

@@23tenaC23 Should every fight be stopped that early? You could see that Hamill had not taken much damage up to that point. You can't call it a win when you win with illegal strikes. Was Jones going to win anyway? Probably, but rules are rules. Nobody else throws those 12-6 elbows so why should Jones be allowed? It's bad enough he gets away with eye pokes all of the time.

Proof that JJ isn't undefeated

@@innocuouspseudonym509 well i get what you saying. but the thing, at least from my point of view, there wouldnt even be 12-6 elbows if the ref had stopped the fight and i think the stoppage was more than overdue. he hit him for 50!!!! secs straight without any illegal punches. hamill starts bleeding and cant get away from JJ fullguard. IMO thats a STOP THE FIGHT call and ofc i agree that 12-6 elbows are a disgrace.

Even if he was really wobbly it still shouldn’t have been stopped bc he was still blocking good and throwing good punches

And when the ref steps in, Cutelaba had just hit his best punch so far.

You guys bring good points but the refs are there for safety reasons and someone who keeps showing they’re wobbling without showing recovery gives enough of a reason for a ref to stop the match. He fought back and blocked but who’s to say that it wasn’t muscle memory rather than conscious movements and ref decided it was muscle memory

@@LordAnt611bro he immediately started holding a conversation with the ref the second he called the fight 😭😭😭 he was very obviously playing possum

No good new cards so it's a 'best of' like most shows that have ran out of steam.

Actually groin was ok but eye gouging was not...but is still part of the sport ...... Cough cough Jon Jones

say “accept”, not cope. You sound like a kid

I almost believe him. If he was conscious, he definitely would have needed a moment or two to recover after that one, lol. If he knew the slam had enough power to finish it, maybe he knew he could veg out for a second and recuperate.

Obviously

He was baiting him

💯 he took that unfair loss like a champ though, mad respect to him

​@mikeycallihan3551 Yah he took that shit like a shaolin monk, true gentleman

So maybe don’t play possum and wobble around and swing like a bar room drunk. The ref isn’t gonna know you’re faking being hurt it wasn’t a great stop but that was mostly Cutelaba’s fault

That was ridiculous. Surely if the referee messed up THAT BADLY then Athletic Commission should overturn the contest.

@Thug_Nose They did🙏

100% agree. 1 of the worst stoppages I've ever seen

What drive me crazy even more si Silva celebrating like he did something great...

And the dude celebrating like a crooked Brazilian would

@@MMAandCARaddictwhy would you say this

@@emericl.1375 you can even see him mouthing the words "he went out" when the ref is there

In MMA I agree. You're willing to go that length. What will you do elsewhere

We noticed, but were too shocked. We then had Gray Maynard knock himself out and Joe, with prior experience being a spectator of the sport, notices and calls it out.

thanks for your comment! that is what has always bothered me about that. nobody says anything about hughes going out. he was clearly out, though, and so was newton. hughes happened to wake up first.

Hughes got up first & able to continue while Newton remained asleep. Outcome is correct.

@kingjames1586 i never said the outcome wasn't correct. Simply Hughes got lucky ref didn't realize he was out or it most likely would have been a no contest

Hughes was nearly out he intentionally slammed him but was nearly unconscious and wasn't sure why the ref stopped it.

Did you bet he'd get DQed for biting? Cos that would pay out pretty well.

You've got my kind of luck. Jaywalk one time and I'm getting a ticket.

​@@adrianmyles4844it would, but I've never seen a DQ line on any book lol

Paul the problematic Felder.

such a shame, loses half his purse and that’s a smear on his record

Really was a terrible call though

If you are gonna act like you are hurt you might get your fight stopped, play stupid games....

@@codyeble0713 Nope. If the dude was truly hurt, he would have gone down. The only time you should rush in to standing fighters is when the cage is what's holding them up. You are as clueless as that ref.

@@GrubKiller436 nope, he was pretending to stumble all over, for a good amount of time.. when you act hurt that long ref thinks you are hurt and stops the fight, fighters have been out on their feet and fights been stopped... Fighters fault.. you are clueless in general

What about eye pokes

"Look at the replay bro"

And in another 10 seconds his legs would give out and he would literally die. His fans should be thankful there are time limits, Simon was very close to taking his life.

I think Merab was ko'd during the takedown. He was limp and didn't react at all for a few seconds when Simon applied the choke. That was crazy.

@@marcotte6608 No he would've been unconscious at that point, not dead. If the choke continued for another 20 seconds after being out then yeah there could be a possible threat to life, but Merab wasn't at that point.

Yh it should have as he did like 7 12-6 elbows how the ref didn't stop it after the first is ridiculous

​@@TheCrazyjay13he threw 4 illegal elbows and only 3 connected!.. Quit pretending it was more than that!.. Ref should have easily stopped it waay before he started throwing illegal elbows. THAT SIMPLE!!

@@mist2498 doesn't matter if it connected or not it's an illegal move and clearly U cant read very well as I said like 7 as he did alot of them deffo more than 4 and how when he was still active even when getting elbowed

Look closely it’s was legal 😮I say it should of bees stopped wasn’t that the ref that got fired 😅

Jones should've been disqualified.

I Watched it a few times, what is the controversy? Was Matt unconscious as well?

@@hammondOTyeah he went to sleep on the triangle choke and when he passed out gravity slammed his opponent to the ground, Matt woke up and realized he won 😭

@@IAmToky0that was definitely an intentional slam, or else Hughes would have just flooped

@@deeworldz5086 yeah that could be the case but it appears to me he went asleep while he had him up on the cage because as soon as he hit the ground he was already unconscious, so he probably thought about slamming him and when he became unconscious his body did the rest

Hughes was nearly unconscious but not out or else he would have flopped over.

Yes

I think he only threw 2 and 1 missed. That was stupid.

Something tells me that wasn't his first time but he got carried away.

he cheated in all his fights. hes just a dirty fighter

Seems so plainly logical to me.

@@tav095 Unfortunately common sense isn't in their heads.

Yea except there is a person in charge of when they start and stop fighting. And that person is the ref… so if the ref ends the fight, who is deciding to reverse that decision and continue anyway? Are there multiple refs for each fight? Is there a panel of people who get together and talk and decide if it was a bad stoppage and if it should be continued? Giving time to both fighters to recover? It just sounds more confusing than having one person in charge of the fight.

Does the ref have a Boss? Because McDonald should be fired.

That eliminates fairness. In any given position, someone has the advantage and resetting unfairly costs them that. Any damage dealt they could have capitalized on, gets recovered in that time wasted. Any momentum built, gone. Any victory is overshadowed by the objective fact there was outside interference. But I would agree if it's clear both fighters are fine n they're just standing then yea, just let it go. But if someone was I'm a mount, or if a guy was dazed n holding on...then giving them time to get their energy back ruins the match. If you just put them back, the guy on tops advantage just doubled cuz he's not tired anymore, n the guy who dazed his opponent just lost that opportunity he earned. Only real fair way is to just move the call to no contest and reschedule.

Yoo wtf hahahh

@@rdebaronor is it Joe Bravo? I can’t really tell

Eddie bravo

@@jalee6587 😂 I’m aware

The head wobbling is a thing the refs are trained to look for

Truth in advertising , an underrated comment. 👍

I want pre-Mcgregor Herb Dean back.

When you’re so good at acting hurt that you fool the ref 😂

That one is wild because he actually fooled the ref, but at the same time I feel like we should expect the ref to be able to tell. I think ref needed to relax a bit he almost stopped it 3 times before that.

Is that actually Mark Goddard? My screen is dim so I can't see clearly. Also, NOBODY asks for Marc Goddard. He's one of the worst refs.

Seems fair enough tbh, if a fighter got knocked out at the last second of a fight before the ref stepped in (think yair tkz or Gaethje holloway) it wouldn't make sense to go to scorecards. Merab was "out" enough for it to count as a submission.

Merab was out as soon as he hit the ground never mind the leg cycling bs. It was terrible reffing to let that go as long as it did

no it doesn’t seem fair at all actually

Especially considering Yan Xiaonan got choked unconscious at 300. Round was stopped by the bell and she was unconscious, but they even asked the corner if they wanted to wake her up. And that fight was like the first round only I believe. The Merab fight was bullshit.

Bro if it wasn't for a time limit Simon would have literally killed Merab in a few more seconds. His legs would have stopped thrashing, he would die. He lost that fight lol.

*saw

No they didn't. It wasn't clear from the replay that a really bad bite had taken place. That's all they had to go on until they actually saw the damage.

He thought He was Losing the Fight on the Cards😂😂😂

This fight was a while ago but I'm pretty sure the other guy grabbed the fence a bunch and he got pissed

dumbest way to lose

@@mahershalmatinek7376 100%, embarrassing too, you see his coaches just shaking their heads

That reaction said a lot about Robbie's character

To be fair? None of what you said happened in that fight. To bring up shit that happened in a different fight is not fair.

Same as Sims' illegal stomps. Agree with the rule or not, it's a simple DQ

Уже легально

12 to 6 elbow rule have been removed

@@Jouranass yeah that doesn’t change anything tho. It was illegal then

​@@KurtNoBrainzmade no sense at the time. Fighters were getting docked fot 1 to 7 or 11 to 5. The rule was just dumb.

He got screwed in that fight

FAFO

Anyone that knows half a shit worth of mma knows he was baiting him, unfortunately somehow the ref didn’t

The guy was clearly stunned, it was just a matter of time. Yes the fight should have continued but I think the ref just saved some neurons in Cutelaba brain.. Their second fight proved it

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

@@emericl.1375 when was he stunned? He never got hit? You UFC fanboys know nothing about combat sports… he was completely conscious the entire time. He literally blocked every shot. Did you miss both replays and the breakdowns? Time for refs to expand their knowledge and experience and learn from the boxing and kickboxing refs. You literally just watched a video that had way more bad calls than good calls.

And Jan is just an idiot for kneeing a downed fighter...clear disqualification. Get over it.

Nah man, Ankalaev was beating the brakes off of him. That would not be fair. They should have just started the round where they left off lol

@CursedPerception Only one strike connected bro and who have you seen that wobbles like that for so long and then gets super energetic after the fight is stopped he was probably just trying to play dead so he could then take advantage of ankalaev's offence
