Спорт
Watch the fight guys, regardless of how bad Yoel Romero was hurt by the end of that second round, it seemed more like he was really tired/rocked by the last seconds punches. Then after his corner left, he remained on his stool by Big John's command. Big John McCarthy is the person in charge, he is the one calling to clean Romero's face...those 28 seconds were given by McCarthy and whoever put that extra baseline. The UFC and the the athletic commission should answer Tim Kennedy's demands. Once again, watch the fight.
Agree
Holly shit what a card it was from a perspective point of view: Demetrious Johnson, Donald Cerrone, Eddie Alvarez, Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Yoel Romero, Tim Kennedy, Cat Zingano, Amanda Nunes, Dominick Cruz, Jorge Masvidal
Stephen Thompson, Patrick Côté...etc Way better than UFC 200 card
yes
That glove grab tho...
lol if the glove don’t fit yall full of shit
Dana ages very quickly, He looks younger in this video
yes
Kennedy wants the rules enforced to the letter of the law? Well that means after he grabbed Romeros gloves, Big John should have stopped the fight, issued a point, which would have no doubt allowed Yoel to recover.
Exactly 🙂
Tim never said he grabbed gloves but Yoel admitted to grabbing gloves. Yoel the drug cheat should had been disqualified.
@@JhonCena-zz2xgTim did grab his gloves.. what are u talking about?
keep pressing the number 4 - it looks like Romero is flowing and mcgregor is jammin along
Lmao how did you even figure that out
@@Dvillapt i imagine marijuana played a part in this particular discovery
Conor MagC is feeling himself in them shades in 2:13😂😂
Is connor wearing dita's or cazal's?
Romero is good, it wasn't him, he just wanted to fight!
Mark Silva rubbish , he sat there with no intention of getting up
@@happentodie8776hopefully the last 7 years have served to give you some actual brains to work with😅
Dana's bet on Kimo should have zero bearing on what happens in a UFC fight. The referee is the one that dropped the ball. Tim deserves a rematch.
It doesn’t matter, he brought it up to correlate to the circumstances that had jus transpired. Tim Kennedy was grabbing Yoels glove blatantly and that’s it, what type of integral mma artist is Tim Kennedy??? He’s not one. So faneto
yoel romero's a pure g got me supporting him since this act of chivalry
Facts
It's not the Vaseline that made his cornermen forget the stool.
wow look at a young connor mcgreggor
So excited for Yoel vs Jacare... best wrestler in UFC vs Best Grappler.. Should be interesting, cheering for Jacare.
That's a. Contradicting sentence
robert johnson Best Wrestler vs Best BJJ artist
+TheBestMovieAlive Jacare lost this day ... Romero is scaling good
lol what a snooze fest that turned out to be.

Watching this in 2023 and its crazy how McGregor is still stealing the spot light nowadays, he was the best part of the interview. The guys a showman
the other guy got the same amount of recovery time and they both needed it!!! Romero won that!!!
Lol he didn’t need it. One was gassed and hurt. Comparing based on time alone is short sited.
@@-_-Retrou you brain is short sided, you basing it on opinion lmfao short sided!!!
dana white "it was our guy that put on to much vaselin, so you can`t blame romero"
What the holy hell did I just see, the fucking ad before this video was mcnugget in a burger King ad damn still getting paid
Love how NAC says something but does nothing. Just put it as a NC and do a rematch, everyone would wanna see it anyway.
This is ridiculous. how is it cheating if BOTH fighters got the same extra 30 seconds rest? Kennedy held Romeros gloves at the end of the first round. thats the REAL cheating. give me a break.
Well one fighter got rocked by numerous shots, and had there been 10 second more of round 2, fight may have been over. Yeah they both had the same time to rest, but one guy wasn't out on his feet 60 seconds before the start of the 3rd round. Holding the gloves is bullshit to. Oh well, what can you do?
Casual who doesn't even watch fights... lol He was rocked at the end of the round. Did you not even see what happened, and why this was a big deal?
@@saljewsteinbergowitzhe got rocked because his gloves was held by TIM regardless of who’s side ur on
I am on the fence about this because no doubt, I do admit that it was a dirty trick because if your a fighter or an athlete of any kind you know that an extra 30 seconds feels like a vacation. Tim Kennedy was extremely frustrated and angry which led to him getting caught in a off balance position, Yoel hit him up against the cage and the rest brings us to this decision we are debating now.
Arguably you can also say that Tim had those same 30 seconds as well and could have that time to gain his composure and wait for another one of those big shots he hit Yoel with before to try to put him back on his ass. As divided as I am someone has to win and someone has to lose that's what fighting is. The means that some fighters are willing go to that produce a common ending show how much they want their win and just as easy as they win, under different circumstances they just as easily could have lost.
I think the extra 28 seconds was bs but i think kennedy was still able to finish romero and that rest wasnt that big a deal but def should of took a point away
He shoulda took 25 points away. Wouldn’t have mattered
Yoel Romero got an extra 28 seconds rest. Tim Kennedy also got 28 seconds rest waiting for Romero. Both fighters rested a bit longer... Kennedy got hit good, those 28 seconds did not give Romero magic powers.
JesuCristoEsREY the argument would be although they got
Same time cardio wise to
Recover its unfair Because Romero was rocked whereas Kennedy wasn't and it gave Romero more time to clear his head and not be on Queer Street any more
TwoGuns but you got to remember that it was UFC's cut man that fucked up that's why Dana didn't penalize him.
Angel King I never said anything in regards to penalising him
JesuCristoEsREY kennedy had an advantage stupid
Simply not true. Romero got extra seconds to rest on a stool. During those seconds. Tim Kennedy wasn´t taking that type of rest, he was walking around, protesting with his hands in the air. Not 2 similar resting situations. Also IF the 2 fighters has excactly the same amount of gas left in the tank, equal resting times will benefit both and as I explaining they didnt have equal resting times. BUT if one fighter has less gas in his tank , the resting will benefit him more. If Kennedy was fitter than Romero, obviously extra resting time will benefit Romero more.
well.... Kennedy's fault also. he did not took advantage of the break as well
I could be totally wrong, but why couldn't they have given Kennedy some additional time to rest as well?
He did get additional time. The whole time Romero was resting Kennedy got that time to rest also. .
Kennedy got those hits because he grabbed the glove... But thats none of my business
NiftyGam3r grabbing the gloves may get you a warning, but setting on the stool for 28 seconds in between rounds on a wobbly fighter, is not answering the bell and should have stopped the fight....
Karl Simmering finally someone who understand. And if you rewatch it was a wrist grab
If they break the rules and no one does anything about it..then WHY have rules?
Kennedy basicly FINISHED Yoel in the second round!! NO WAY he wouldve gotten out of that.. he was so fucking rocked he had to wait 30 extra Seconds to start the Third ROUND!! also add the mental advantage yoel had in the Third.. Kennedy was angry and sure he was so tired cuz he waited that extra long and yoel rested out and exploded and got Lucky. .fucking discrace. should be overturned OR a rematch. Bulllshit.
28 seconds, this is not third grade math were you round off to the nearest decimal.
And anyways, whose nuts are you hugging Acere ? We all have our favorites don't we. All your wining, cannot erase the fact that Yoel got up and beat the fuk out of Tim in the third_ leaving him face down on the canvas. If you attribute that to 28 seconds, then you have never looked into a man's heart, nor understand will power.
Water Buffalo
Jamriang Jindawed ROFL!!!!!! just shut up.
An argument can't be made with a close minded fool like you
Anthony Sampayo Close minded?? explain.. amuse me, fool. You just got owned, son.

yo dont cry so much just because ufc couldnt fix the fight for your beloved american fighter this time...it is a controversial situation but lets be honest,yoel got an extra 30 seconds,but kennedy had those seconds too lol or was he fighting himself,cant u people use your brains,whats the difference none of them were fighting
Ya i think it was dirty trick but then I realized that the other guy got the same exact time to rest as yoel, he should sat and chilled in the corner and not rush into shit 3rd round!
Am i hearing double ??!
Romero’s Manager saw Yoel was out of his shit, and stalled to buy him enough time. If you let Yoel go out without that 30 second rest he’s done by KO.
Horseshit. Did you watch the press conference? Dana said it was the UFC’s guy that caused it, not yoels cornerman. It’s a cornerman too, not his manager lol. Managers don’t give a fighter direction during a match
Kevin Iole, selfish as usual shouting instead of waiting for the microphone, wasting/monopolising other people's time.
Kennedy did nothing before the glove grab
He and ufc screwed Tim Kennedy over
Dirtiest trick in the book is poking in the eyes!
How can any fighter fight while there is Vaseline all over his eyes
The whole problem is because of the ufc cut man
And if not then it's on Romero corner not him
Because he didn't even know what is happening
Maybe, I don't know? - Conor McGregor
The stool was straight bullshit. None the less yoel KOd him in the 3rd regardless. Kennedy should have finished him in the 3rd if in fact Yoel was as hurt as he thought he was.
Ref got it wrong, this is suppose to be top level fighting. UFC is going down hill. I think Dana White should have giving Tim more support. When you lose a Tim Kennedy, you lose fans......
28 seconds of extra rest doesn't change a fucking fight.... sure it's dirty as hell but it didn't determine the winner
You've obviously never had a fight...
So...Dana White can bet in fights, and then Dana's cut-guy can glob vaseline on a fighters face to get more rest time. Nothing to see here.
glove grab vs stoolgate. evens out
Referee McCarthy fucked that up. He needs to take control-- and he allowed that bullshit to go on. Big John had a few bucks on Romero-- that wasn't the first fight he refereed-- he sure as HELL knows better.
yea mccarthy is a fucking tool
That's bullshit, McCarthy should have either pulled the fucking stool from under his ass or called the fight because he couldn't get up off it. If this is the oldest trick in the book it should be already rules set in place against it. McCarthy dropped the ball on this one
GloveGate caused StoolGate
if you can grab a guy's wrist to grapple, why can you not grab his glove?
if you can grab a guy's wrist to grapple, why can you not grab his glove?
Grabbed Yoels glove before that so in my opinion, fair play
I like how Dana never fully accepts faults. Just says I know and floats around it, a good reason UFC has gone downhill more.
The ufc gets more popular every year what lool
@@alisoyupak2730 going downhill has nada to do with popularity. You can still have popularity and be going downhill.
@@OllieCat13 getting more popular and making more money is downhill are you alright kid
DANA WHITE: These ATT guys that game your system is a huge liability to the reputation of the UFC. When the tests come back abnormal but passed, USADA should, in the next fight for these fighters, increase scrutiny, conducting extensive out-of-competition testing. When a guy has pimples on his back, has abnormal levels, skull growth, and his abs start protruding, we long-timers in the business know the average fans are getting duped. The guys like Weidman and Machida and prior BJ Penn shouldnt be robbed by the likes of ATT (AAS) chemical monsters, or by the Reems and all the cheats who know how to cycle so as to not get caught. We're betting on sports not to determine how tight or loose the testing will be determining the outcome of the fight--that should be a non-factor.
+MMA Insider dude LOL the whole "pimples on the back" shit is incredibly stupid. That has NOTHING to do with steroids
CAN HE FUCKING ANSWER IN SPANISH??? OMFG
lmao
Is a push in the face when someone push in the face sometime is bad lmaooo i give him points for trying but fuck it for now answer in spanish until you are more fluent in English
The ufc was in on it
Loool
Instead of Vaseline they should had Neosporin.
Dana probably ordered it to b done duh
Tim Kennedy holded Yoel's glove illegally at the end of round 2 and then illegally punch him.
is yoel allowed to grab the fence?
Okay prove it
yoel romero next champion in this weight time to time , tim kennedy stay in the army
this is the fact. that was Tim's win because if they had taken out the stool from Romero it was really clear He can;t stand straight and that would make the referee to discontinue the fight. Romero should have stood up that time when he saw the time and Tim was at the center, but he was still sitting down coz he couldn't, he was trying to recover before eveybody could see him wobbling
You answer the bell, or you forfeit. Simple.
he sat on the stool nearly half a minute after the bell to return to action. Cmon Dana thats a joke, DQ is the only fair solution.
How does it matter that the UFC cutman out the vaseline on, he still didn't get off the stool
Jimmy Martinez And Tim still grabbed Yoels glove.
That's bullshit kennedy won
Nice try shill. You would have lost money if you let him win.
Why take the win if it's controversial? Romero looked embarrassed, as he should.
Peter P Yoel was winning the fight. Then, Kennedy grabbed Romero’s glove and rocked him. Which is illegal. Without the glove grab from Kennedy, Romero was dominating the fight..
kennedy a cheater. illegally held on romero's glove while landing punches. obviously god wasnt on his side. he not only failed to finish the fight but also got his cheating ass knocked out in the final round. what goes around comes around lol.
Get off the stool, that's the dirty part to me, should've been a rematch.
That was straight BS
AKarnold#9 Kennedy cheated too. He grabbed and held Romero’s gloves to land those punches.
Tim got jobbed!!!! Point blank!!!! And everyone knows it!!! And 28 seconds is huge Dana and you keep saying it was our guy!!! That doesnt help
someone links the rules plz... I'm soo lazy. Thanks!
it wasnt Romero fault respect to both fighters
Kennedy grabbed the glove, that's a warning or a point deduction.
Romero couldn't get off the stool, that's an automatic TKO loss.
Apples and oranges.
Kennedy won this fight fair and square.
Iain Skinner why did he get KO'd then?
Your mom did a lot of meth
Kennedy should be embarrassed if anyone, he got knocked the shit out because the guy was sitting on a stool 20 sec more? Is that what he's saying?!
madmax1717 thats exactly what it was
dont cry talk to lombard he show you like win after 2 loss
If the bell rings you get up regardless. Yoel will get his ass whipped by Mousasi, Rockhold, Jacare, and Machida. He won't make it to Weidman.
XxsoccerxX z hahah he knocked out Rockhold, Machida en fucked up jacare. Mousasi ran away to bellator. Your comment didnt age well huh?
One of the worst aging comments I’ve ever seen. Machida got killed by elbows, Rockhold got a left hook Cuban Missile to his cute face, Weidman got one of the nastiest flying knees I’ve ever seen, he handed Souza an ass whooping
this controversial is racial
Rigged

People can whine all they want about the stool, but who actually finished the fight? That's right. Yoel was still recovering yet still managed to pound Kennedy's head in. No controversy there.
The controversy is him having an extra 30 seconds to recover. Him recovering is no excuse for you losing. Sure, it would've been easier to win and possibly finish had he not recovered but the fact is, when they got back on near equal terms, Romero knocked him the fuck out because he was too busy having his period over what happened in between the round.
And lets not forget how Yoel got hurt in the first place. Grabbing the glove like that was not only illegal but it's the reason why Yoel couldn't avoid that punch in the first place. Tim's just mad his sly attempt at cheating almost worked out for him but he ended up getting served some instant karma
Kennedy was getting his ass kicked...get over it and try to beat rashad to move up!
Angel King ????? Kennedy was destroying the whole round! Did you watch Romero get raped by uppercuts? If he didn't have time to rest he would of got fucked
Lmao watch that again. Kennedy landed those punches with literally 10 seconds left in the 2nd. Other than that he had nothing for Romero.
Thatguyuknow2550 fight was 1-1 but Kennedy was slightly winning going into the 3rd because of damage
STOOLGATE
yoel romero is black but is great fighter and great person , hes next champion in this weigh all this controversial is racial
Technically if dont speak english you wont understand "get the hell out of here"
wtffff??? people have gotten rematches for less in backed up divisions and kennedy cant get a god damn rematch over some shit that the ufc itself says is dirty?? the hell is this shit??
ROMERO THE BEST !!!
Lost lot of respect for white…
As they say, Yoel is the dirtiest fighter in the book.
3 13 2013 yushin okami vs hector lombard a black cuban ''loss'' , 9 27 2014 a black cuban win , white cry and many people talk shit, the controversial is RACIAL
Kennedy needs to retire
Cheater! Kennedy should had won! Rematch!
Grabbing gloves is illegal,
Point should have been deducted and time for recovery allowed,
Minutes usually
Exactly, Tim Kennedy had his ass kicked end of story get over it!
what a rippoff glad i never pay for this shit XD
Great card , great fight , you're just stupid. Thank you sir see ya
yoel beats kennedy any day!!tim also cheats grabbing yoel glove at the end of the round
Lmao, oh well. Take 25 points from Yoel Romero? Still wins by KO lmao easy work
