Media Ortega Says He Couldn’t Hear the Ref and Tap was Soft

[Gang Sign Luke]

I like him, but Ortega is as much of a sociopath as Jon Jones tbh. I have no doubt he heard the ref and felt every tap.

With the level of adrenaline and intensity with which he was applying that choke and the noise of the crowd I absolutely believe him.

His hair grew back pretty fast. I remember when he was bald when he fought the Korean Zombie.

Vid? Gif?

I think for a pro fight, when you have a choke you should keep it on until the ref pulls you off. You won't kill them. They will be fine.

So this is like a reverse "i felt stipe tap" overeem situation ?

I've never heard of weight cutting affecting one's hearing. I suppose its possible though.

I guess dehydration makes your mucus thicker and makes it harder to expel, so maybe he had some buildup in his ears.

Does He pass the sherdog hairline experts tests? I think so.

Wonder if Rosas called out of work from ear sickness too?

Imagine how much more comical a deaf Rosas would sound.

I am intrigued by this? What makes you think this? (Whole post, but in particular the bold part)

maybe when combo'd with the altitude too?

 

[HavokHarmon]

Yeah same, this isn’t a Palharas situation, he’s tapped multiple guys in fights and never had this happen before. If it starts to become a pattern then I’d question it but as it stands I’m ok giving him a pass here.

That fight was in 2020 brother…

I love it when peole sound like Hulk Hogan on the message boards purposely or inadvertently
It cracks me up everytime

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Refs should be tiny and quiet and where camouflage all black.....they should be smart and invisible and smoke 3 packs of marlboros a day

Like Keith Peterson
Goddard and his fat loud head are too big for the cage

 

[BEATDOWNS]

first time for everything weight cutting makes people deaf now

ok Brian we believe you

I would have guessed that cutting weight would lead to cutting substances like ear wax too (if anything), but apparently not.

The weight cut made me grab the cage
The weight cut made me kick him in the balls
The weight cut made me poke him in the eyes...

I remember that time KZ and Edgar fought and Frankie was on his 2nd knockdown

Outta nowhere you hear "Get up Frankie Get UP!!"
in a thick English accent



It was Goddard nojoke
