Justin Kristie vs. David Baxter Fight Video Warrior Nation XFA – How Bad Can The Ref Get ?
Vid recommended by PitfighterZ, thanks.
WHAT!!!!!!! that is seriously the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen.
OMG!!! He did tap and he did make it to the bell so…i don’t know what else to say…his tap looked like a punch attempt lol
In his defence the tap looked like a body shots and he wasnt out for to long
refs suck balls
He must not have seen the lyoto machida vs thiago silva fight
WTF was that? when a guy gets choked unconscious as the round ends that is the end of the fight…this whole organization should be shut down. endangering the fighter
Even the announcer thought Kristie won lol
When he tapped out, he did it in such a violent manner, that it looked like he was trying to punch his opponent in the kidney and escape. Tap out the right way, guy had no ground game.
Yeah, baby, Bad Reffing but the mutha in Red is a beast, so much heart. Great for a first win. Love how he knew his escapes and capitalized on the black trunks tanking.
Did the Announcer just announce the loser? LOL
Thanks Bruno.
That was crazy. I think they both won????
i think that was a perfect call,let them fight to the death
What the?
I want to be a ref. hw do I become a ref?
WHATTTTTT?!?!??! OMG The guy TAPPPPPPED and is choked out unconscious.. and gets to fight in Round 2?! CRAZY
Wow, what can you say to that… un believable. Give it up to for the guy that got choked out and then went on to finish. I garuntee he doesnt remember getting chocked out so he just kept fighting. That ref was so bad though.
hes better than rosenthan and mirgliatta together + herby
Came back from the dead!
What did I just witness?? the reff needs to find a new profession because the only thing that saved that dude from possible death was the bell what a f****** asshole!.
I think its new rules, best two out of three. They forgot to put round three in there LOL!
wow that was pretty bad. if the guy is unconsious the fight is over. the ref allowed him to regain consiousness and fight the 2nd round. what if he wouldv’e been put to sleep again. that s*** is way dangerous. although i kept thinking how funny it would be if that guy came back to win so that was actually kind of funny.
¿¿??…it wasnt bad at all……ive seen worst in ufc
the tap look like a slap to the back a opne hand punch
Black shorts won the first round by near death submission choke. Red shorts won the 2nd round by G-n-P TKO. There should have been a 3rd round to determine the true winner. Ref is ready for the UFC.
This fight was better than some of the fights on the last ufc ppv.
Looked to me the guy was obviously tapping but with all the terrible mma reffing does this really surprise anyone?
I can sorta understand the ref thinking those were body shots…..butttt when the guy is unconscious and twitching (which most people do when choked out cold) and then clearly not okay andd the fighters corner needs to come in and help out greatly WTF was the ref thinking at that point?
HE WAS TWITCHING!!!!!
horrible and sad ![]()
looked like he was hitting him with his palm not tapping
Wait, how is there a round 2nd?!
That should 100% not count as a loss on that guy’s record…. he tapped him out in the first round, chocked him out cold. insane
Bloody hell…How do these people get licensed to ref?!?!
Wellllll, I would be one pissed puppy if I was the loser.
It didn’t look like he was tapping more like slapping
hell of a comeback though
Aside from the WTF reffing that was a good fight…Comming back from being choked unconcious…WTF? If you have ever been choked out it is a very unpleasant and disorienting experience.
I was expecting some terrible fighting to go along with the terrible reffing, but that was a pretty exciting fight for some bush league s***.
The win has to be overturned right now.What if the guy gets a flurry at the end of the round,gets Koed with between 1 and 0 seconds left ,but he gets back up,do they restart the fight???Stupid stupid ref,and stupid organization.If I was Kristie’s coach I wouldn’t even let the fight keep going.The second someone else then the ref,the cornerman between rounds and the fighters enter the ring,the fight is over.The doctor and 30 guys came in the ring for the uncouscious guy so rigfht there it was over.One time at an amateur boxing comeptition I was boxing,there was a guy who was beating another guy’s ass.He dropped 2 times in the second round and in the third when he dropped like he was dead, the winner’s cornerman came in the ring and celebrated with his fighter before the ref called out the fight and they were disqualified.The guy who got Koed didn’t get a win,it was a No Contest.But that fight is bullshit and I hope the fight gets at least overturned into a no contest.Baxter doesn’t deserve the win.Also he was out from 4:24 to 5:27 and wasn’t ready to fight until 5:54,30 seconds later then the allowed time,so he should ‘ve lost 3 different ways…Retards.
@Jindod
You get to know somebody who runs a crappy organization and you probably have to sign some papers and own at least 5 MMA t-shirts, watch the UFC to be qualified for the job…
he didnt clearly tap. he wasnt out until the bell rang. so? why is this a bad ref? read the rules if your a noob, he didnt tap and he made it to the end of the round. if you dont know about mma then dont comment, people like you and bruno give the sport a bad name. read the rules you clowns…
hey okwhatsobad…you said that Bruno gives the sport a bad name. Step off homie, don’t you be messing with Bruno…Bruno is the MAN!
If I was the fighter in red I would be more upset with my corner for letting that go on, corners have thrown in the towel when a beating gets to bad so why let him continue from actually getting put out pretty brutally? And to be fair to the ref , he looked like he wanted to stop it but then the so called doctors come in and let him continue. I just don’t think the ref should get total blame.
I think in this case, the ring-side “doctor” should have called it after the kid started twitching. The rules say only that if he makes it to the end of the round and is able to fight by the beginning of the next round, the fight is on. I’ve seen KOed fighters come back from the dead to win fights, but this is the very first time I’ve seen it under MMA rules. At least, this blatantly out.
@okwhatsobad
Bruno gives the sport a bad name?
Go back under your bridge. If a fighter loses consciousness at any point from the moment he starts walking towards the cage until the final bell rings he is disqualified/loses. They have retarded commissions for a reason. Don’t think we can’t see you for what you are.
ref not that bad. more like stupid fighter doesnt know when to tap
weird
@okwhatsobad did you just really insult the admin of this website? lol bruno you gonna take that
Look at the smart guy here^^^^ You are soooo right because I did see a provision in ABC’s unified rules that a fighter can take a nap on the cage floor between rounds. The one with a red honking nose is you fool.
i can see it from both sides. he did go asleep but he also made it to the end – just. it was slap not tap .
ref should give him 1 min tho not 1.5 so really he should have lost but with the confusion i can see how he got away with the extra time.
he was really out cold so i suppose on safety reasons in all honesty it should be stopped .
but the kid had guts and made a fast recovery so if he wants to continue fair play – plus he ended up winning so point proved
the mc is a c0ck for announcing loser as winner tho lol
@ okwhatsobad-
For the sake of bruno, ur an idiot. bruno da man…don’t get him involved. and…for the health of the fighter,he was completely out, so the fight should have been, absolutely stopped. Did you even watch the fight? It happened at the end of the first round dummy!
Are f****** kidding me!!! The guy in red was out!!!!! The Guy in Black won…How the F*** could they revive him and put him back in the fight!!!!!! f***** Retarded referee needs to go to jail for that!!!!
legit , Stop crying people .
Chuck Liddell lost to Jeremy Horn in the same fashion.
Lmao. I guarentee some people arent watching this whole thing. Watch after he gets choked out. It isnt just that. He comes back and wins lol
Steve Rina? Is that his name? The guy they plucked from a homeless shelter and told that he would get a free haircut and a black shirt and black pants to keep? WTF?? This is a cry for attention. Can we please do something about this?
@okwhatsobad
You are like an obese girl calling Britney Spears fat.You are the one who clearly doesn’t know the rules.You have 1 minute between rounds,if you are not ready after 1 minute,the fight is over.It took 30 more seconds for the guy to be ready so right there he lost.When people storm in the ring,the press,the doctor,the corners and the 30 other people in there,and the ref didn’t call the fight,the fight is also over.seriously,the guy was still laying on the ground when the timeout was over.Go back to your cave after you buy your tapout shirts.
They shoulda ended that fight after the first. The guy was twitching for a few seconds man!
The fighters tap looked like body punches to me. I understand the ref not stopping the fight then.
But when the bell rang and the fighter was and remained uncounscious, the fight should have been stopped then by sub in round 1 at the 5 minute mark.
How long is the rest between rounds?
How many people can attend to a fighter during his between rounds rest?
If the fight was to continue on, past the 1st round, and into the 2nd, and further rounds, then the fighter should have been left where he laid to get up and go to his corner on his own with not assistance, and given only the regulated amount of time to recover before the beginning of the next round. No assistance. No additional people. No additional time.
And if he could not do it, then he loses.
what was wrong with that the ref didn’t think that was a tap he was out after the bell rung got up and proved he wasn’t out of the fight.
If the ref doesn’t call it and that other guy couldn’t finish him after he was sleeping then s*** happens. Bottomline it’s the refs call and this ref was deff wrong but what the ref says goes thats the rules its just the nature of the beast.
Bruno is da man and has always been the man. watch your mouth when ur on HIS site douche
You guys are all ridiculous and that was a great comeback.. he was out at the bell and he did not tap he was hitting him with body shot. Bruno – the doctors allowed it not the ref by the way.
Bruno: Thank you for posting the video and I apologize for the meathead (okwhatsobad) that think he decides what other people can or not watch on the web. After I have no idea anymore of how many years, I can say your website is clearly a great addition to everyone who loves MMA.
@okwhatsobad: I asked Bruno to post this video, so if you don’t like it, you can simply skip and see the next one. Gratuitously offending people online is a sign of a weak mind.
I will admite, the guy was out. But he didnt tap. Great comeback in the 2nd round
Nice Israeli got the win, but in all seriousness that was some serious bullshit.
why wasn’t the other fighter more vocal when the fight wasn’t stopped and the second round started? I would have been livid!
That ref should get fired, the guy could of gotten really hurt if he would of gotten knocked out again after twitching like that.
LMAO, thats all I’m gonna say..
First why was the fight allowed to go on after they wake the the man up? Mad props for him making that comeback though even that was totall bullshit.
Bottom Line- Bruno for president dang it!!!He’s da man!
Am I the only one who sees nothing wrong with this fight? The guy in red was definitely NOT tapping but doing body shots and kept trying to roll out. He got choked out half a second after the bell so he had his 1 minute to wake up and recover and then he came back to tko the other guy! Whats wrong with this?
nothing wrong with that, the ref just wanted to be sure the guy was out before stopping the fight!
I’m not convinced that he tapped or was even completely unconscious… He was way to deliberate in what looked like strikes to me to say that he was unconscious.
It looked to me like the ref and doctor made a respectable decision.
so was that a 10-8 or 10-7 round since he went to sleep
This crazy s*** you will only see in America! LOL
the tap did look like body shots lol.
oh where oh where has Bruno gone, oh where oh where could he be. he lives in France & says WEE WEE, oh where oh where could he be?!!
whats beautiful about this is that it’s a kick ass metaphor for life. YOU SEE OF COURSE THE GUY WHO WAS JOKED OUT SHOULD HAVE LOST IF THE BURDEN IS ON THE REF..
BUT This is life. Dumb people cause dumb results all the time..
Perhaps the fighters corner should have contested going to round 2 more.. or perhaps they just thought “hell this is a fight, I’ll have to choke him out again..”
EITHER WAY THIS IS JUST LIKE LIFE… YOU HAVE TO PLAN TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF BULLSHIT… WHEN EVERYONE JUST DOESN’T HAVE A f***** CLUE..
-MY SOAP BOX. DONE. LOL
those were punches. he survived to the bell. they shoulda kept going after lol
BOOOOO!!!!!! What a bullshit call and he had a brilliant 1st rd too. Head movement and all. He gassed for that 2nd.
@zachres,and all the others who don,t know the rules
The guy was twitching for the 1st 10 seconds.He was out for the 1st 30.He wasn’t even up at his feet at 1 minute so it’s a disqualification.But there’s no point in arguing with people who don’t know the rules,but are convinced theyare right.
Choked to death then allowed to fight on… this my friend is where MMA still is… in it’s infancy,
I love watching but no chance will I ever let anyone I know consider this as a legitimate sports until all this is ironed out… I give it 20 years.
It’s still at the stage where certified refs still don’t know the rules.
P.s. blame the cornermen/friends for this one.
hahahahahaha!
