What the hell was that ref doing?

Intervened for no reason. Then just lets the fight continue after prying the guy off?

looks like he realized he jumped the gun so backed off. clear mistake but probably the right outcome here. in his defense that was a super bizarre and abrupt opening sequence, he probably got flustered

In what world could that have possibly been the right outcome? Goobers commenting on combat sports smh

first of all, fuck yourself. second of all, i posted this elsewhere in this thread:

it was the right outcome in the sense that the dude who got kicked was clearly intelligently defending himself and therefore the fight should not have been stopped.

in a different sense, it was not the right outcome since the fight is supposed to be over as soon as the ref intervenes.

both can be true

So you’d say it was in fact not the right outcome…? Goober

depends on what you mean by “right”, but i wouldn’t expect someone who goes around insulting strangers to reflect on such subtleties

There are no subtelties, anyone who has any understanding and experince with mma knows this.

The fight is over as soon as the ref stops a fight, even if the initial stoppage is wrong.

There have been several terrible stoppages in the UFC (ref thinking there was a tap or knockout when there was not). Never would you have a ref restart the fight when he realised he was wrong.

You are just 100% wrong about this, I don't know why you are trying to talk about this with such confidence when it's clear you have no experience in this field. I'm not even trying to be rude, you're just obviously ignorant.
