@JoshLBarnett But wrestlers end goal is a takedown which again leads to guard pass. If someone pulls guard asap, he just gave a wrestler his desired position...
@aaronbronsteter 4 - from my understanding, you can watch the replay in Nevada anytime, but, if you watch it after the fight ended you can't restart the fight (and in-cage actions indicate that fight was stopped).
@TheMMAholes@CSTodayNews Didn't Acosta parried his hand to that direction during the exchange? I need to rewatch for finer details, but comparing them, I think Acosta opened his fingers each time Delija got close.
@mad_melak@Clayton761841@slushedaf@DovySimuMMA No, he can also have a 5-minute break. Not 6+ minutes, not sitting on a stool, not sipping water, etc., while ref watches the replay, which is meant to be watched only if fight ENDED, not before. Ref screwed, call it No Contest.
@jazzlovesmma@FirstRdPicks@DovySimuMMA Mate, he watched the replay, which is only meant to be watched on a fight ENDING sequence after the fight has been stopped.
@Clayton761841@slushedaf@DovySimuMMA Replay can only be used to fight ENDING sequence after the fight has officially been stopped. That's in the rules! Ref watched the replay = fight is stopped. It's either W for Delija or NC.
