*** UFC 297: Sean Strickland vs. DDP - Who Did You Think Won Mega Thread ***

[Dimbis]

Wrong rules. Knees were illegal.

Sorry everyone. As long as he was touching the ground, he's downed. I think it's dumb, but that's the Ontario Athletic Commission. They go by the old rules

That’s ridiculous to me. Crazy that having fingertips on the mat as the knee lands is illegal.

 

[Streeter]

Was a robbery as if it wasn't stopped Arnold would of Tkod him . On score was close 1st rd could go either way no roberry in that respect.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

In close fights like this they give the fight to the undefeated one

yep

I had Allen winning a close fight but not a fan of Allen's style.

 

[Morning Star]

Goddard is trash as usual.

The problem is that you need to write something down for a thing everyone who rolls knows in their brain. ANYONE who has grappled knows the concept of grounded, but if you have to define it pen to paper, people will try to really ride the lines of that definition. I imagine it was something like, "Well, feet means standing, if you're not on your feet, or on anything else, then you're not standing" and it was as simple as that.

A grounded opponent is any fighter who has more than just the soles of their feet on the ground. (i. e. could have one shin or one finger down to be considered a downed fighter)

Then someone went all Greek Philosopher and went

"So am I grounded then?"

Definitely doesn't help that Joe kept reciting ad nauseum his "three points of contact" bullshit which was never the rule either. Now it's like no one knows what the history is anymore.

[Rio Ferdinand]

I had Strickland but it’s too close to call.

I feel like the champ should get the benefit of the doubt if it’s this close
