A cheater bet a coward
The bias in you people is ridiculous you clearly see first he was holding his wrist. He wasn’t purposely grabbing his glove. He was grabbing his wrist and then yeah, he grabbed his glove at the same time sure how many times have we seen fighters grab the cage? They’re not allowed to do that lol but to sit there and give the guy an extra half a minute everybody’s out of the ring and he’s still in the ring sitting on a stool that’s fucking ridiculous
Serves him right
This is a strong contender for the latest fixed fights scandal
I now see what Tim was talking about. Yoel definitely got saved by the bell in the second round. I definitely think he got screwed with them allowing him to sit down for an extra 15 or so seconds I heard Tim talk about an adrenaline dump. They should’ve had this fight happen for a second time because look like Tim Kennedy was getting the best of him in the late rounds besides that third round of course
John McCarthy made a bad call,
He was supposed too call it a DQ.
Since Kennedy decided too accept unfortunately that loss is on him as well.
Lets be honest exactly 0 of us thought Kennedy could rock Romero.
I honestly can't think of another sport where the rules are so often thrown out the window and not enforced. Like in Khabib vs Conor, Conor cheated at least a dozen times in various ways including a blatantly illegal knee and he didn't even get a point deducted. Yoel should have been DQ'd here but instead he gets rewarded for cheating.
Robbed him of a ko
At 10:18, Kennedy slides his fingers into Romero’s glove and clearly prevents him from bringing his guard back up — an action that’s clearly against the rules! It’s precisely at that moment that Romero takes an uppercut that seriously weakens him, that cheater better not come crying afterward.
cheats to hurt romero
Romero cheats to recover
Seems pretty even to me
Bullshit, Romero should have lost
as much as we admire Yoel’s tenacity, Kennedy should have been declared winner due to Yoel not answering. The Ref knows that too.
War hero 😂 what a embrassment Kennedy sucks
Yoel a a cheating pos idc what anyone says
The W should go to Kennedy cause of the cheating of Romero and his team.
Damn this was a good fight!
pure robbery.
Glove Grab Gate is what it SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
Let me judges and referee, it's a draw bro. Good fight. Tf he got time to recover but he went crazy, taking away a point but he still lost, I say a draw and rematch
Things like this make us look away from UFC. It just became an organisation full of half pro wrestlers.
God's timing
Haha tin
Tim is a little baby I’m so glad he lost 😭😭
No way Tim was going to win that fight without the glove grab. Yoel had this in the bag
REFFS FAULT
10:17 Tim grabs Yoel's gloves. (Illegal) and that's why I can hit him.
Tim Kennedy is an animal. Has anyone contested romero like that?
