I’ve seen way worst and not once called illegal. for those who said the elbow counted please look again. He’s throwing hammer fist not elbows. If you seen the fight the action was super fast. Even the Ref looked at the reply and was lost for words. You get more warnings from boxing from nut checks and head butts. None was intentional to me and all the other 100 people I watched it with.

Amazing that Fedor actually got brought into this conversation. Fedor lost and there was no controversy in it except for the whining of the remaining nuthuggers. Get over it. He’s just past his prime.

Even if they were illegal, you don’t come in and wave a fight off like that. Stop action, deduct points, see if the downed fighter can continue, then consider ending the fight. What he did indicated a Silva TKO victory and Silva got paid as such.

Damn, it’s sad how many of you guys can’t read. People agreeing with the ruling are trying to ruin the sport. Go watch something else please.
1 hit to the back of the head does not = DQ. It’s a stand up, a verbal warning and maybe a 1 point deduction.
The inconsistencies in MMA reffing really are keeping the sport from establishing itself. And not using instant replay to over turn bad calls is a joke. This isn’t boxing folks, you can’t use the same rules

Worse than Fedor’s stoppage by this little lunatic herb guy.

So because someone makes a gif tagging what shots were legal and illegal, it’s totally reliable? No watch the fight again, there was at least two illegal shots. If rules aren’t enforced, what good are they?

I felt it was a good call by the ref for a few reasons. First, he verbally warned the fighter to watch the blows to head. Second, his forearm looks as if it was making contact. Third, a ref makes a call from real time, not from a slow motion GIFF.
Perhaps a NC but a good call in my humble opinion.

fighters should wear protective plate on back of head covering vital areas ,not so much for protection but to sensor arrant shots, have it set to certain pound per square inch, so light glancing blows don’t set it off, if it gets set off fighters can be seperated and evaluated! s*** i got to get a patent!
