the Joe Rogan experience I saw the one guy you've got DQ yeah yeah that's
brutal just a straight knee to the face while you're on the ground yeah whoa
super unfortunate and one of his coaches was yelling just punches just punches
oh yeah Marcos tomato who's the his nickname is Parampa is the jujitsu coach
one of the coaches for American top team and he's yelling out just punches just
punches and then someone else in the coach is yelling Russian in Russian they're
you know the yelling to Piotr to hit him and you know cuz he's thinking that
the
guys it's confusing to some fighters when is a downed opponent a grounded
opponent
is technically sure if he's hunched over it's like wait is his foot is his knee
down or so if you have one here's the thing if you have all feet down but one
hand down you're not grounded if you have to maybe Nevada's still Nevada uses
a hybrid version of the new mixed martial arts rules it used to be anytime you
had a hand down at all you were a grounded opponent and then they switched it
to if
you have two hands down you're grounded opponent but if you have a knee down
you're a grounded opponent so he had a knee and two hands yeah so he was he was
fucking grounded yeah I mean it was like there was no question about he was
grounded but I think maybe he thought he was coming up and Piotr tried to catch
him
catch him as he was coming up but it was a hundred percent illegal yeah I mean
that's so you could see it here see he see he's got one hand down yeah look he's
got one hand no it doesn't both of his hands hands up so maybe that's what he
thought maybe it was because the knee was down and both hands were up he
thought
he wasn't grounded yeah maybe that's why he's confused but it's a hundred
percent
illegal sucks for both of them see if if you you hear your coach yelling hit
him
see see even I'm like thinking like okay is that grounded or is not grounded I
know it's not I know it's grounded because this has come up before because it
used to be that when your hands were down then it was grounded yeah but then
big
John McCarthy explained to me no no anything other than the surface of your
feet on your legs like so your knee if your knee is down that means you're a
grounded opponent like with that guy like is he coming over from a different
fighting league no he's a champion no he's the champion it's just there's
different versions of the rules right in some places a grounded opponent you
what
is the new version of the the rule there's one of the new versions of the
rule is if you are putting weight on your hand so like you can touch it but you
can't if you have weight on it then your grounded opponent but if you're just
touching that's that's not a grounded opponent all right that's it's all it's
too complicated you allow opinion to come in mm-hmm it's like then there's the
debate on like was that the right call bad call it's like just set up a clear
definitive rule right well there's other folks that also think well why isn't
that a
legal technique well how could we could punch him in the face can't name in the
face this is stupid like why can't you get how come you can't kick him in the
face how come when a guy's lying on his back he can kick you in the face but
you
can't kick him in the face like that seems stupid too from 2018 the Nevada
rules on
it this is the new the Nevada has a hybrid version it didn't adopt a new
grounded rule I think unless they've changed it since yeah I think this is to
be
considered grounded it says a more technical piece the new rules pertains to
that of a
grounded opponent which states a fighter must have both of their hands down on
the
ground whether it's be palms or fists for them to be considered grounded unless
a
knee or anything other than the soles kicks or knee strikes to the head of a
grounded striker or fighter rather therefore is illegal however the Nevada
State Athletic Commission will not be adopting this part of the new rules and
we're stick with the old definition for a grounded fighter which means
anything but the soles of the feet okay so that's why it's confusing so the
grounded opponent thing the fighter must have both their hands down on the
ground that's
what it used to be whether it be palms or fists for them to be considered
grounded
unless a knee or other than the soles of the feet are down as well so either
way he
was grounded because there was a knee down so it was a illegal technique all
over the world
that one that move which is unfortunate I mean that's gonna suck for him of
like he was winning the
fight too that's what sucked um Pyotr Jan was uh he it looked like he was
starting to gain control of
the fight and I think it was in the fourth round was it the fourth round it was
a good fight though
really good fight and I'm sure they're gonna have a rematch and the rematch
will be super hyped up and
yeah you know but he had dropped Al Jermaine and he had taken him down and tripped
him slammed
to the ground a few times and it looked like he was in control of the exchanges
but but still very good
