Video: What’s the point of rules if they’re not enforced?
This past Saturday at UFC on ESPN 25, Nicolae Negumereanu was warned multiple times by referee Mike Beltran – quite sternly, we might add – about grabbing the cage in his light heavyweight bout with Aleksa Camur, but ultimately no points were deducted.
The result? Negumereanu salvaged a split decision victory thanks to the multiple no-calls. Had a point been taken, the final result would have been a draw – and Negumereanu wouldn’t have earned the second half of his paycheck for winning.
Now, nobody likes draws, and nobody wants to have money taken from fighters, but rules are rules. But should referees be quicker to issue deductions when rules are repeatedly broken? Otherwise, what is the point? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Nolan King, Danny Segura and Matthew Wells weighed in with host John Morgan in this week’s episode.
