Holy smokes

 

[Delta Assault]

Isn't that guy supposed to tap out? They just stopped it...

 

[The Shogun]

Man NASTY elbow

Isn't that guy supposed to tap out? They just stopped it...

He was KOd on the feet, ref saved him

 

[Angelus Errare]

Dat elbow!

 

[Guru-Guru]

Wow. Explosive. Never even heard of this guy before this fight.

 

[IKizzLE]

When you go limp standing, its hard to tap out.

The referees can stop a fight at any time if one fighter is not in a position to be able to tap out. It leads to a lot of controversy sometimes.

Doing the stanky lag is almost always going to result in a ref stoppage.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Next up: 2 dudes who have both lost 3 fights in a row. They should have been on the prelims.

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

Still cant believe Koscheck and Ellenberger is a PPV fight...

 

[Delta Assault]

These referees seem a lot more concerned about safety then the one in "Warrior."

 

[The Shogun]

RDA vs Pettis is going to be sick

 

[Ninja Scooter]

These fights are ending pretty quickly. Get ready for lots and lots of filler.

 

[dream]

These referees seem a lot more concerned about safety then the one in "Warrior."

There are probably a number of reasons behind it, but I think it's most likely because, as a film, Warrior is mostly fictional, so there is very little danger to Brendan and Tommy Conlon.

Can't tap when you're out on your feet. Ref is allowed to stop a fight due to a fighter not intelligently defending himself.

 

[FUME5]

Koshcheck is back? Why?

 

[IKizzLE]

And sometimes, there is no consistency.

[scabro]

Jouban is THE guy, brehs

 

[Rur0ni]

Koshcheck is back? Why?

Retirement. Lol.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Koshcheck is back? Why?

He's a name, and the UFC badly needs anything even resembling a remote draw.

 

[Blackstarhat]

[Pimpwerx]

Is Kos a fighter who couldn't wrestle-fucked his way to a title, but compromised his style to be more entertaining? I can't help but think he was an amazing wrestler, but he started trying to bang and hasn't been the same since getting knocked. PEACE.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Koscheck is ooooold.

 

[vypek]

Incredible

 

[The Shogun]

What's crazy is we talk about Ellenberger being past his prime and hes only 29. He fell off hard

 

[Oscar]

What's crazy is we talk about Ellenberger being past his prime and hes only 29. He fell off hard

He's had a lot of fights though, 39 fights after tonight.

LW Champ Anthony Pettis is a few months younger and only has 20 fights.

Mileage is very important in MMA too.

 

[FUME5]

He's a name, and the UFC badly needs anything even resembling a remote draw.

Yeah, but fucking Koscheck?

 

[charsace]

is he coming back to ufc or not?

He is coming back. Vince supposedly gave an offer that was worse than his current contract with the WWE. Vince is an idiot determined to sink his company.

 

[The Shogun]

Jake could finish this if he would get a little more aggressive

 

[Oscar]

Yeah, but fucking Koscheck?

It's not that. The dude has two fights left in his contract and wants to fulfill those before considering retirement. He's been open about this.

 

[Pimpwerx]

GSP shattered Kos' orbital and his swag. PEACE.

 

[IKizzLE]

Knew this fight was gonna be shit.
Sigh...Koscheck. And Jake has no killer instinct.

 

[Pop]

Josh looking slow

 

[Delta Assault]

I was gonna ask if there's any overtime in UFC, but he tapped.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Munoz and Kos both being called to valhalla tonight.

Also this fuckin ref again.

 

[FUME5]

It's not that. The dude has two fights left in his contract and wants to fulfill those before considering retirement. He's been open about this.

Ah, figured he must have signed again. Got choked the fuck out anyway.

 

[_DrMario_]

Ewww

 

[The Shogun]

Munoz and Kos both being called to valhalla tonight.

Also this fuckin ref again.

Yeah Kos tapped at least 3 different times.

This ref is freaking awful

 

[Oscar]

oh my god that foaming at the mouth.

 

[paskowitz]

Can we get a gif of the mouth foam?

 

[vypek]

His movements when locked up looked reminded me of an animal caught struggling in a predators jaw to me.

 

[Dead Prince]

oh my god that foaming at the mouth.

The squirm then mouth combo

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Kosheck and Munoz will always have jobs as long as Bellator is around.

 

[WaltJay]

DAT FOAM.

Is this the same ref as the Munoz fight? Christ...

 

[dream]

Fuck, that's the look of a man pleading, "please don't let me die."

 

[The Shogun]

Look at that replay, Josh is foaming and tapping and ref is staring at him

W T F

 

[Oscar]

Warning: Foam

Spoiler

 

[ramoisdead]

I cringed at the foam.

 

[Pop]

Ref might be as slow as Josh
