MABFanForLife Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I know it's already been a few days since it happened, but does anyone think KJ Noons should have been fined or the fight been judged a no contest because of that illegal knee he threw? I can understand the argument that the fight was already over before the knee. But he still connected with it and everyone just seems to have forgotten about it. Does anyone know if he got fined for it or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he should be fined unless he had some serioulsy bad injuries that occured because of the knee. And theyd have to prove that it WAS because of the knee. Did they fine Jon Jones for the illegal elbows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight was over for half a second. Yes, he should be fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devill Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 How about KJ's KO punch after the bell on round 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufc_90 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 i like noons but he acted like such a **** in that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToiletSeat Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Ref hadn't stopped it and he kneed him in the head, i though that meant DQ or NC? Gurgel won't complain though i don't think, he is a warrior. However i wouldn't blame him if he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus9mm Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Gurgel was out by the time the knee hit anyway.....the ref had already started the motion to stop I believe. The punch at the end of 1, and the knee were too close to give Noons a fine, or change the decision of the fight. It's the refs that need to wake up, and act sooner.

uaquin Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 In reality the fight should have been stopped when the punch after the bell in the first knocked Gurgel senseless. Noons started the punch before the bell and I;m sure it wasn't intentional, but none the less it landed after the bell rang and should have been a N/C stoppage right then. Gurgle was in lala land. I can't believe he wasn't checked by a ring side doctor between rounds and was allowed to fight on. That fight was all around a poor showing on the Ref, the doctors and the athletic commission that over sees them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MABFanForLife Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well I really don't understand what the ref has anything to do with it. Throwing a knee to a downed opponent, regardless of what time in the fight it is, is illegal. Yet it's just being overlooked. The punch at the end of the first round, I don't fault Noons for. He threw the punch just as the bell rang and wasn't able to stop himself half way through. I get that. But punching your opponent in the face is perfectly legal. A knee to a downed opponent is never legal. Should the fight have been called a little earlier? Possibly. But Gurgel was still trying to fight back. Sure, he probably didn't have a single clue where he was or anything but he was still trying to fight. So I don't overly blame the ref that much. And maybe I am making a bigger deal about it than it really is. Guys get hit with **** like this all the time, most of the time with their eyes rolled into the back of their heads. But this one, to me, just didn't seem right at all and I do feel that something should have been done about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knee was BS. Definitely should have been a DQ. I dont care if the knee isnt what stopped him, it was still against the rules and before the stoppage. If you want to argue that it was after the stoppage.... well thats even worse. It was an illegal knee no matter when it happened is the bottom line. EDIT: How is q u e e r a swear word??? If you want to argue that Im bypassing the filter then explain to me how a normal word like that is censored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan1h Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think it should be a DQ or a NC. Regardless of whether the fight was over or not, he threw an illegal knee that connected. I don't know how there isn't more of an outrage about it. Realistically when you look at what happened, it was either an illegal blow that ended the fight, or a blow after the fight was over; neither of which belong in mma. Remember what happened to Jon Jones with the illegal elbows? Or Paul Daley's hook after the bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
