I enjoy mma. Watching the first episode of this seasons ultimate fighter right now, and I'm noticing a disturbing trend. They are ignoring the standard rules for UFC fights, and it seems like the refs are just there to determine the winner, and occasionally say 'let go of the fence'.
I found the hansen vs brimage fight extremely neglected in terms of reffing
Blatent knee to the face of a downed opponent from wiki
"A downed opponent (also called a grounded opponent) is a combatant that is on the ground, as compared to a combatant that is in a standing position. This commonly implies that the downed combatant is lying on the ground, but can technically refer to any position in which anything except the soles of the combatants feet are touching the ground."
if the ref honestly didnt see it, he was the only one there who didnt because everyone went "OOOOOOOoooo" sounded like even they were expecting the ref to jump in and take a point from Brimage, but no, he just watched like a women's basket ball ref. its so blatant it makes me wonder if the ref was coached either not to ref, or to ref one sided.
The other fights had similar situations, with knees to the groins completely ignored, and people with much worse view points of the fight than the ref seeing them with ease.
So frustrating to watch. either have rules, or don't, but pretending to have rules just makes the Good fighters lose because they are the ones following them.
