Why is this man still reffing fights? Nover recovered quick. Justified stoppage? I don’t know. Where’s Herb Dean/Big John when you need them?

sooooopernate Says, in 5-25-2009 at 01:45:59 from 24.21.181.209

Wow. He just jumped right back up.

sjp925 Says, in 5-25-2009 at 01:52:52 from 98.109.102.238

early stoppage thats terrible phillipe is a good fighter. I hope he gets another shot.

sterling Says, in 5-25-2009 at 02:26:06 from 71.63.15.198

Thaaaat’s why they were booing him all event long.

InnerStrength Says, in 5-25-2009 at 02:46:06 from 24.0.80.23

French Canadians shouldn’t be allowed to reff fights ever. I know they want to feel like they matter in the world, but deliberately calling fights wrong just so the rest of the world will remember that they exist is pathetic.

St Pierre Says, in 5-25-2009 at 02:48:08 from 69.45.177.204

Good stoppage… Nover recover thanks to the reff duhhh… wasnt this guy favorite to win the last TUF show??? Seeing him being tossed like that…

herbs worse

in my opinion, looks like Lavigne was trying to stop the fight but Bradley kept punching. Bradley should be fined for this. He’s a pro fighter. Lavigne is not. Lavigne got overpowered and probably scared and confused. When Nover upkicked, Lavigne got scared and released Bradley. The whole thing was a mess but to me it looks like it was Bradley who would stop fighting when he was grabbed by Lavigne and dragged Lavigne intot he fight.

man thats a bad call!!

BadChristian Says, in 5-25-2009 at 03:57:27 from 76.233.82.233

Why the hell was Kyle still throwing punches while the Ref was grabbing him? Why did the Ref Let him go? Why did Kyle put his hands up to the Ref after he punched Phillipe?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

hldn1977 Says, in 5-25-2009 at 03:57:30 from 67.189.1.243

Good work putting this up Bruno. I didn’t get to see this fight as it wasn’t broadcast for me, but I figured Yves had an early stoppage. Every fight he was in, he was booed mercilessly and looks like for good reason.

rza808 Says, in 5-25-2009 at 04:15:18 from 98.160.148.39

Phillipe went limp for a sec and then defended through instinct for a sec then bam he recovered. The ref saw this happen faster than he could stop the bout cuz his thought process was too slow

Catch 22 Says, in 5-25-2009 at 04:41:57 from 78.32.180.42

Wow

Vin Says, in 5-25-2009 at 06:46:43 from 24.46.81.127

Man that sucks for Nover !! Hopefully the UFC puts him on a card soon;I was wondering why they kept booing the ref on the broadcast fights.

filo561 Says, in 5-25-2009 at 08:08:00 from 66.229.5.231

this is sum bullshit

redninjab Says, in 5-25-2009 at 08:24:59 from 69.248.247.123

that was completely justified. that dude looked like he was going out. Just cause he got up quick does not mean he lost his equilibrium. Ref can’t stop the fight and then let it continue

BigShoe Says, in 5-25-2009 at 09:04:33 from 41.203.228.149

Phillipe looked like he went limp for like a split second. That is when he decided it was over. Once you step in, it isn’t good to say fight on. Bad for Phillipe though.

TriangeChoke Says, in 5-25-2009 at 10:23:47 from 64.254.235.50

Very Odd, Yves is usually considered one of the best in my book

I think it was when Nover was lying on his face for that split second that he thought the fight was over…then let it resume, then had a brain fart and panicked and still stopped it…very unlike Yves

Matt Brown Says, in 5-25-2009 at 11:07:52 from 71.116.91.110

Looks like the same ole antics. Time for Yves to become a casual spectator.

“The fight is over, wait its back on, no its over.”

theetompster Says, in 5-25-2009 at 13:11:13 from 96.52.7.38

are you guys stupid? phillipe was clearly out and limp and thats when yves jumped in. how could anyone deny this when it is so clear and evident in the gifs. he wasnt going to recover from that either way and the ref was protecting the fighter when he couldnt protect himself.

thats a refs job.

kyle bradley actually ignored the refs attempts to stop the fight.

theetompster Says, in 5-25-2009 at 13:13:47 from 96.52.7.38

second post:

props to yves for acting so quickly on something you retards cant even see in a gif that repeats it over and over. give some credit where credit is due.

common sense Says, in 5-25-2009 at 13:15:20 from 75.142.107.243

looking at the way nover went limp, it should have been stopped, but it shouldn’t have been let to go again after yves grabbed kyle, that just made the stoppage look worse. anyways imo an early stoppage is better than a late on, which mazagatti is habitually guilty at

sweepykenivelle Says, in 5-25-2009 at 13:17:28 from 99.27.180.223

He looks like he went limp but not really, He was pushed down with Kyle’s left arm, that’s why his face hit the ground, bad stoppage!

Tmoney Says, in 5-25-2009 at 14:21:43 from 24.20.95.118

I am going to have to side with Yves on this one, in retrospect it was a bad call but job #1 is to protect the fighters. He got slammed, one punch looked to drop him and while flat on his face took a defenseless shot. Refs don’t have the instant replay option, and if he let that go and the fighter WAS out he could have been in trouble for not stopping it.

If you don’t want an early stoppage don’t put yourself into a position where you are taking hits without intelligently defending yourself.

Bad call yes, but not as bad as everybody is making it out to be.

mmafan Says, in 5-25-2009 at 14:37:43 from 174.116.112.222

questionable stoppage, but the real question is; why did kyle keep attacking while the ref was trying to stop him. If the ref tries to restrain you then you are supposed to stop.

slickrick210 Says, in 5-25-2009 at 14:51:12 from 70.120.73.139

bradley continued to attack because nover was still defending himself.

Drew Says, in 5-25-2009 at 15:32:16 from 207.210.26.156

It’s not the stoppage that was awful, it’s WHEN he stopped it. When Nover was face down taking shots, that was the right time to stop it. But, how do you then stop a fight AFTER the guy fully recovers and bounces back up to his feet? Either you stop it the first time, or let them continue. Lavigne did once again panic.

L-E-S Says, in 5-25-2009 at 15:36:05 from 99.243.122.75

Refs need to command respect in the ring. If the fighters don’t respect you, they won’t respect your call. If it was anybody else other than Yves Lavigne reffing this fight, the instant that ref grabbed the attacking fighter, that fighter would stop. YL has a history of bad calls, and the fighters are aware of this going into their fights with him reffing.

Sean Wooldridge Says, in 5-25-2009 at 16:01:51 from 72.86.122.178

Rogan was trying to say that he may have been transitioning?? I haven’t been training that long, so maybe that’s why I haven’t yet learned the transition where you completely flatten out and bury your face in the mat. Lavigne didn’t stop the fight early. What, was Nover just pretending to be knocked out for a second? Same with Koscheck in is last fight? When you look knocked out, the fight is over. Plain and simple. Footage of a fighter pounding an unconscious body over and over is very bad for the sport. The refs know that. Bradley should be severely disciplined for shrugging off the ref after a stoppage. He is the one who should be booed.

Disturbedfighter Says, in 5-25-2009 at 19:24:09 from 75.75.126.118

He was still defending himself he sliped and fell on his face but the ref was to quick to stop. that old canadian peice of shit needs to be fired anyway

hulkstie Says, in 5-25-2009 at 19:54:59 from 142.59.165.105

As a ref, you can’t hesitate, once you step in it’s over, none of this “well maybe he’s ok” gotta be confident in the decision and he was not and that is why he got BOOOOOOOOOOOed. I say it would have been a justified stoppage if he jumped in with authority, but he looked like a grandma trying to break up a fight who got pushed to the side.

Iconoclast Says, in 5-25-2009 at 23:21:07 from 98.168.205.231

Not an unreasonable stoppage. Nover didn’t “slip”; his arms gave out. If you appear to be unable to defend yourself, then the ref has to stop the fight. Now, his handling of the stoppage leaves a lot to be desired.

2 TUFF Says, in 5-26-2009 at 00:39:32 from 24.78.48.224

Yo yves has two bad fights a late stoppage and an early stoppage… this fight its obvious after its all sone that it was early but yves couldnt see the guys face all he saw was a guy go lymp for half a second give him a brake he is still second best ref in the world!!!

2 TUFF Says, in 5-26-2009 at 00:42:04 from 24.78.48.224

“said and done that it was an early but yves couldnt…”

by the way joe rogan yells its all over and the other guy also goes crazy and said it was over… everyone who saw it thought it was over when it happened but when we saw phillipe get up then we all turned on him

Mike Says, in 5-26-2009 at 00:55:04 from 24.42.127.185

Just because you go limp it’s not a reason to stop a fight. Otherwise, every fight would be stopped on the first knockdown. That’s what a knockdown is, you get hit and go limp and fall down. Fights are stopped because you cannot defend yourself, Eve jumped in when Nover got hit and went limp, he did not wait to see if he could defend himself after. So you idiots who says he went limp so it’s over clearly do not know anything about mma.

rza808 Says, in 5-26-2009 at 12:55:45 from 98.160.148.39

I clearly said he went limp then defended himself shortly after. The ref was just too slow to react to what he thought was total loss of motor function then made an idiot stoppage when all was proper

sprawler23 Says, in 5-27-2009 at 02:19:39 from 98.192.255.88

Hahahahahah, ummmmmm, he got freaking man handled dude. He has no future in the 155 division cuz, specially if kyle bradley is throwing him on his face like that. Go to 135 Nover.

doweboy24 Says, in 5-27-2009 at 13:19:56 from 76.209.139.180

If you’re supposed to stop a fight once someone gets stunned and loses consciousness for a split second 90% of the fights should be stopped waaaayyyyyy earlier than they are. The thing I love about Big John is he would give ANYONE a chance to recover. If it didnt look good immediately following that first big blow he would jump in. Nover took one big shot… and if he wasnt recovered and unable to grab Bradley’s foot and push kick Bradley off of him Nover would still be taking punishment right now. To me that sounds like an early stoppage. Why was Hughes given a chance to recover, and why didnt the Rashad fight end in the first when Machida caught Rashad and knocked him down?

noverfan Says, in 5-28-2009 at 01:22:31 from 125.60.241.254

i agree with

sweepykenivelle “Says, in 5-25-2009 at 13:17:28 from 99.27.180.223

He looks like he went limp but not really, He was pushed down with Kyle’s left arm, that’s why his face hit the ground, bad stoppage!”

He did not go limp, he may have looked limp because he got hit by another right by bradley while he was trying to grab the leg of bradley plus the push by bradley’s left hand. But Nover immediately transitioned to rolling over to defend himself! Bradley in response saw that Nover wasn’t hurt kept on attacking even if he felt that Lavigne was stopping him, because Bradley is full of sh*t (you should listen to his interview, he tried to make a bloody finish even if he can’t). When you look at the video closely, you would see that Bradley turned to the ref when Nover successfully defended by landing a good upkick which threw him back. Bradley is a worthless piece of sh*t, that’s why he hasn’t won yet any fight in the UFC.

On Tape Says, in 5-29-2009 at 11:31:21 from 207.216.245.138

Nover went limp and was out for a second.
Of course the ref is going to jump in when hes see’s that, it’s his job.

What’s weird is how the other guy kept fighting and then the ref backed off.

YB3000 Says, in 5-31-2009 at 17:48:22 from 213.113.117.113

Yves Lavigne is not a UFC caliber ref.

nitrocrusherxxx Says, in 7-7-2009 at 21:45:40 from 71.246.74.135

He was done he looked it so yve laving steped in i done care what he did after the fight he looked done i would of done the same thing thats the truth everybody knows it

Nover sucks!!!!!! Says, in 10-29-2009 at 02:17:03 from 75.51.186.38

I never believed Phillipe Nover was a good fighter. I knew he was over hyped I knew Efrain Escudero was going to exposed him for hype job that he is. Then, Phillipe Nover was knocked out by Kyle Bradley. Phillipe is a bust.
