Domare Marc Goddard förklarar varför han tillrättavisade Conor McGregor

Marc Goddard

Under UFC Fight Night 118 gick Artem Lobov match mot Andre Fili. Lobov som är  Conor McGregors sparringpartner fick råd av irländaren under hela matchen. Det är något domare Marc Goddard inte kan köpa då han blir en ”fjärde man” i Lobovs ringhörna, vilket blir orättvist gentemot Fili. Genom MMAFighting sade han följande.

The reason I interjected is because Artem gets a fourth cornerman cage side giving instruction. That’s not allowed. Imagine had Conor talked him through a fight-ending sequence. Then what?

Conor was basically acting like a fourth cornerman. Walking around the cage side wherever and whenever he wanted. When Fili took down Artem, Conor was right there. That’s simply not fair and not allowed. I won’t have it. He can’t do as he pleases.

If Conor had stood up, stayed at his seat, then he could have shouted till his hearts content. That’s what he’s supposed to do. But what he simply cannot do, what he is not allowed to do, is approach the cage at any point and as I say act as the fourth corner. That’s unfair and unjust. Anyone who knows me will tell you I’ve done this forever, in any country in any situation. My integrity is not wavered and neither is the rules. We can’t allow that. I simply had to act.

Artem Lovov förlorade matchen mot Andre Fili genom ett enhälligt domslut.
