Nej, UFC-kommentator Joe Rogan, håller inte med domare Mario Yamasakis argument om varför han lät matchen mellan Valentina Schevchenko och Priscila Cachoeira fortgå. Cachoeira gjorde sin UFC-debut mot den forne titelutmanaren i stråvikt, ett helt klart för stort steg för debutanten.
Yamasaki hade i sitt uttalande sagt att han lät Priscila Cachoeira vara en ’krigare’, men det håller inte, menar Rogan. Genom hans egen Podcast sade han följande.
Mario Yamasaki said he gave her the opportunity to, ‘Be a warrior. That’s what he said. That was his take on it. I mean, not just beat up. Did you see the stats? The actual physical striking stats? It was some unbelievably overwhelming number, like one vs. several hundred, in the significant strike department. Like literally, she landed one decent punch.
They should have stopped that fight a long time ago. That fight should have been stopped 15 or 20 times
It was a bad matchup, because that girl, I believe it was her UFC debut. To have a UFC debut, to have a woman that’s fought for the title and is a world-class striker, I mean literally one of the very-best strikers on the planet earth – male or female – it’s just not fair.
Schevchenko kunde senare i rond två efter riktigt vassa armbågar lyckas säkra en vinst genom rear-naked choke.
