Imagine if Stephens wins the belt and lures McGregor back down. I thought he would KO Holloway the first time, maybe he could do it this time...

Those elbows tho. **** all that.

[TheJamesKraus]

One illegal elbow and that knee was wild but that sums up Stephens in a nutshell.

I think he will get the winner/loser of Edgar-Ortega. It depends on how long Holloway will be out.

Featherweight is looking good atm, they have alot of new blood in the division.
They need to get Magomedsharipov a fight god damn!!!

Some blatant illegal elbows to back of the head too. It's up to the ref to catch them so the finish is concrete now. I haven't heard of an appeal actually working. I may be wrong tho.

I don't think it was blatant as Emmett was fighting on a single, so he was moving. Could be wrong though. Doubt an appeal would work, they never do even in worse cases than this.

It was blatant, which means clearly.

Regardless of Emmett's motion those elbows landed to the back of the head.

It doesn't really matter tho since so many rabbit punches go unnoticed like Oezedmir often does.

In this case it may work. He was hurt but recovering until the elbows and knee landed. Then it was over. He should get a no contest.

It doesn't usually happen, but if they are fair, this gets overturned.
