I don’t know if Goddard saw that and the warning was for the elbow. Didn’t hear him mention the cage grab
We don't know if Goddard did or didn't see it. He chose to point out the elbow and stand them up. He could have just chosen one of 2 simultaneous fouls. At that point his focus is on getting the fight stood up and restarted as quickly as possible, not getting into explaining multiple fouls.
Eddie grabbing the cage again was pretty blatant right? If Goddard DIDN'T stand them up, people would be shitting on him for missing another obvious cage grab. I'd rather have the right call for the wrong reason (if it even was the wrong reason--we don't fully know) than have the wrong call altogether. That just seems like common sense to me.
