PBP UFC Fight Night 218 - Lewis vs. Spivak: Official PBP Discussion - Sat. Feb. 4, 10 pm ET/7 pm PT

I don't know why people are hating on the ref. The headbutt was clear as day. We can't know for sure if it was intentional but it was blatant. Don't count on warnings

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

You don't give a warning for intentional foul

He tried to pull his arm out and their heads barely scratched eachother, let alone a clash. Nelson was gifted a draw by this ref, should check into his betting accounts.

 

[g*r*b]

I honestly think the reason they don't deduct points for fouls more often is exactly this outcome. Too much likelihood of draws, and we can bet Dana hates draws.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Nelson is awful, at times he seems like he's the motionless AI in a fighting game training mode. Just stands and takes a beating and maybe reaches out to hold onto you.

But he's Canadian

 

[Jonesisnatural]

Thanks ref, you sack of shit

Yeah he's fucking awful
Mark Smith
Herb dean
Dan mirgisijfjomfu
They're all atrocious

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Both fighters were equally awful

 

[Substance Abuse]

Tgnoni is one of the worst refs working consistently today. He shouldn't have this job.

 

[Noraaq]

Nelson should have won

 

[BluntForceTrama]

holy shit that whole thing was so gay

 

[neomage2021]

How do you know it was intentional?

I watched it live and the replays... he pretty obviously brings his head up and drives it back down headbutting. What do you think he forgot he had a head or something or had a mini seizure?

 

[BigDramaShow26]

We had someone upkick their grounded opponent and get the fight standing, and someone else accidentally headbutt their opponent and get a point taken away.

This is just pathetic judging. How can the UFC be getting worse at this?

 

[tjnickels]

Honestly, a horrible look for Choi. I know he was out 3 years. However, the UFC tried to give him a layup comeback, and he botched it and cheated while doing it.

 

[surgeyou1]

There have been fight altering head buts that didn't even get a warning. Let alone a point deduction.

 

[TITS]

Tognoni might be the most worthless ref on the planet.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Since Lewis isn't fighting in Texas, I'm pretty sure he's a lock here, even if I believe that skill wise he is the worst top 5 HW to ever grace the sport.

 

[flektarn]

Sucks for Choi. Wasn't a hard headbutt

 

[RiotWyatt]

Judges are horrible tonight. Choi won all 3 rounds.

It isn't the UFC. It's the athletic commission.

I don't know why people are hating on the ref. The headbutt was clear as day. We can't know for sure if it was intentional but it was blatant. Don't count on warnings

But theres almost never a deduction for fence grabbing or eyepokes. Ref called it correctly, and most other refs dont

 

[JoeRowe]

JORDAN WRIGHT CO-MAIN EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tornado362]

Double cut? Or at least Nelson getting cut
