Daily Debate results: Should Jon Jones’ 2009 loss to Matt Hamill be overturned?

nt"

UFC president Dana White dropped a debatable item into the MMA conversation last week when he said he was going to ask the Nevada Athletic Commission to overturn Jon Jones’ controversial 2009 loss to Matt Hamill.

Jones was dominating the bout against Hamill until, during what certainly appeared to be a fight-ending sequence of ground strikes, the future light heavyweight champion was disqualified for using illegal 12-6 elbows.

A decade later, it stands as the only blemish of Jones’ career.

There are two trains of thought about the idea of overturning the call. One is that the referees decision was just about universally considered lousy. The other is that rules are rules, and if we change one, we open the door to overturning every decision a fighter doesn’t like.

So we asked you, dear MMA Junkie reader, to weigh in on this. And while there wasn’t a runaway decision, the majority of you feel that sorry, Jon, but the “L” has to stay on your record.d
