PBP UFC Fight Night 227 - Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 PBP Discussion: Sat 9/16 at 7PM ET/4PM PT

[TCE]

I do like the way referee's can look back on replays now and change their decision, as also happened lately in the Holland/Daukaus fight.

Back in the day, if a ref stopped the fight prematurely, it was over. Mac Danzig with a classic one where he wasn't out at all.

I also think fights should be restarted after a referee fuck up calling a fight prematurely due to a non tap.

Let them continue. But that's on the commissions.

Can you imagine the backlash if the ref checks his arm and it drops and he lets it go on for 20 more seconds and then it turns out the guy was unconscious?

If he would have checked it when it went limp then he wouldn't have let it go on. Lol

 

[NewLockGuy]

Lacerda coming on yo' ass, coming for that Sam Alvey winless streak. He's speed running it too.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Why didn't they let the little guys continue?

 

[Dude Incredible]

Thanks sherbro. I love your face the most. And @Dude Incredible thw 2nd most.

Congrats my brother. @helax knows I'm coming for that #1 spot tho.

 

[JoeRowe]

the... phalangal region... is especially wonderful

Very proportionally aesthetic

 

[Pharenheit]

Don’t agree with this result but goes to show enough bitching can influence anything

 

[Ryoto Machida]

At least Lacerda will likely get another fight now lol

Exactly what he wanted. He got stuck and got himself a "do over".

 

[SaltedVinegarfootstomps]

Dom disqualifies himself each time this discussion comes up by just veering into his loss to Henry like a spastic bumper car.

 

[Jdanois]

Oh wow

While I don’t necessarily agree with the call, you can’t let your arm drop like that. It’s not like he just put his arm at his side. He dropped it like it was limp.

I get it, cause i thought he was out too, but the fact is he wasn't and it was ultimately the wrong call by the ref.

 

[Substance Abuse]

strongly disagree. Even in a grappling competition the ref is gonna stop it if you go limp. Dom is just sucking his own dick here.

Tognoni needs to look at more than the arm.

 

[Axe720]

They merged with WWE, just raise the arm three times so they can hulk up on the third for maximum crowd reaction @BroRogan @GoldenAzazel

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Now I'm 100% convinced Lacerda did that on purpose. He was stuck and he knew it.

It's going to be a new WWE / UFC storyline

 

[MitMcl]

Almost identical to Lawler-Askren. Of th


Only difference that stands out to me is these guys were on their feet and Lawler/Askren were down when it got stopped.

Both Lawler and this Brazilian had dramatic-looking arm flops that triggered the stoppage and both guys immediately looked at the ref to ask what the fuck. Herb Dean even started cursing himself right away.

It's very puzzling to me that this was overturned on the spot and that one stood.

To be fair, Askren had Lawler in a much ‘cleaner’ submission with his arm completely under the chin.

 

[IneedSometop]

bitter little lanklet ain't he..

Yeah he is and I dont blame him if he really feels that way. I always get a little chuckle whenever he goes off in the booth about it

 

[Paynebringer]

 

[MrFreeze]

Remember in a grappling match I got caught in a mounted arm-in guillotine. I could hear his coaches yelling that I was gonna go out or tap but I could feel he didn't have it in even though he was trying real hard to finish it.

I just laid there and relaxed because it wasn't even close and waited till he stopped squeezing to sweep and get out of it.

Sometimes just relaxing is the best way to go.

100%, relaxing means your opponent wastes energy attempting a bad sub, panic often results in tapping to a sub that is not fully locked in

They built this whole card around Grasso. I like Alexa, but her losing tonight would be par for the course for the UFC, lol.

 

[KDR by RNC]

Congrats my brother. @helax knows I'm coming for that #1 spot tho.

You hug me like that and its yours

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

So if the ref isn't supposed to need a thumbs up, isn't supposed to react to an arm going limp then... What is the ref supposed to do, wait to see if the entire body goes limp? Let's be honest, who didn't think he was out after seeing the arm drop like that.
