Everyone get in here and let's settle this once and for all.
Morons posting nonsense without knowing the facts is nothing new on sherdog, but I dont think I've ever seen a topic discussed where so many people are so blatantly wrong about something, yet they keep repeating despite all the evidence being right there to prove them wrong.
So what happened in that fight for those that didn't see it.
ROUND 1
Romero lands several good punches and Kennedy quickly has blood leaking from his nose. Romero stuffs his takedown attempts, take him down hard, lets him back up, bloodies him up some more.
Clear 10-9 round for Romero
ROUND 2
Yoel is blocking and avoiding pretty much anything Kennedy attempts to him him with, while making him pay with his own strikes here and there. Kennedy gets stuffed on several takedown attempts and pulls guard. Yoel stands up, a few more exchanges, then with about 10 seconds left Kennedy slips his fingers inside Yoel's glove, and as Yoel's trying to back away Kennedy illegally holds the glove for a few moments while landing his only significant offense of the fight. The round ends with Yoel rocked, and both fighters go to their corners.
So there it is, the only actual infraction committed by a fighter in that fight.
Now comes the part where dummies say Romero cheated.
The time allowed between the rounds ends and corner men are instructed to get out so the third round can begin. Kennedy is in his corner jumping up and down making a big fuss because he knows he's getting his ass handed to him and his only chance in hell is if Yoel is still rocked and he can capitalize. But Big John instructs Yoel to stay on the stool and call the UFC cutman back in to wipe him down because there was too much vaseline... THE UFC CUTMAN made the mistake, Dana himself said it, Big John said it, I think even Kennedy admitted it eventually.
ROUND 3
There is an extra 20 second delay because of this, and when the third round finally begins Yoel proceeds to punch Kennedy out and win the fight.
So again, THE REF instructed Yoel to stay on his stool, and it was Kennedy's cheating that lead to him being hurt in the first place, yet here we are 4 years later, and there's still dummies running around telling a completely warped version of these events.
Is this some Mandela effect thing I'm having where I'm remembering this event differently?
