Event Pool XII - UFC 178: Johnson vs. Cariaso

Rich Davie wrote:: DFW said that issue with Romero's corner is the dirtiest trick in the book... and it was very controversial.

Dirty, but enough to overturn it? I don't think so. The ref is in the position to make the call.

The thought being expressed is that if a fighter doesn't answer the bell at the beginning of the round... he loses the fight because he wasn't able to continue.

At he very least, the fight should be overturned to a NC... especially since the crew on the post fight show said the delay was 30 seconds between the start of the round and when Romero was ready to fight.

I agree with that, but the ref is supposed to call it. He didn't. That is on Big John.
