How do you all feel about late hammer fists when the opponent is clearly knocked out. It’s a cringey aspect of mma that doesn’t get brought up very often. The legendary Hendo bomb dropped on Bisping was a prime example. Francis has some brutal hammer fists while the Ref is running in to end the fight. Derek Lewis also comes to mind.
Those are the rules. A couple of those are pretty questionable. The ref is diving in and likely calling an audible stop and kaboom. A little late on a submission tap and everyone loses their mind.
Many of these holds are maybe a second and everyone lost their mind over him holding the submission. Is it his the refs job to stop the fight or is he supposed to know the ref sees the tap and do the gentleman thing and release the submission? Rogan starts counting way before the ref intervenes.
The thing with Ngannou is we all know his crazy power. Guy is already totally out cold and BOOM. I remember sdreaming “NOOO” before he landed the last one on Miocic. I don’t think I’ve ever done that ever watching MMA ha ha.
I’m in the camp that don’t mind extra shots WHEN there is legit beef. But for normal MMA competition, it always bugs me
