OzExile Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Rowntree was really gracious and congratulatory in defeat to Tyson Pedro in Melbourne. I think there may have been some weigh ins beef? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members lambyUK Posted July 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 After seeing this video it's certainly changed my entire perspective on the main event. Whilst obviously i can't say for sure, to me it looks like at least 2/3rd's of these pokes in the eye(s) are intentional. Dirty as fuck.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 I hadn't watched the show but those close ups really don't leave much doubt. The referee should have noticed at least one of those and been able to do something about it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 i dont buy that, the first one is very common in MMA, its simply a side-effect of the gloves. The other two, realistically would anyone willingly throw a punch with their fingers pointing out? that asking for shattered fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 Wow. Intentional or not (and it's very suspect), the referee had an absolute shocker. Missing one can happen, but bloody 3 or 4 in such a short space of time is appalling. The one against the fence is revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I don't think they're worthy of further investigation as far as the result goes, but it does alleviate some of the shock of seeing Gunnar smashed like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 Didn't they also announce new rules some months ago about not allowing parries with the fingers out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 yeah they did, its up for the referee's to recognise and enforce it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
