I think that referee polling does happen. Not all the time. But I think it does happen. I actually listened to that interview with Herb Dean on The Luke Thomas Show. You know I wanted to hear it and see what he had to say. I think it is kind of a case of consistency.\u00a0<\/em><em>And right now we have very inconsistent rules.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"730\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-232830\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-1.png\" alt=\"Chris Weidman\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-1.png 730w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-1-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-1-585x305.png 585w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-1-390x203.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lauzon continued, riffing on the inconsistent nature of MMA&#8217;s ruleset.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cYou know I have local guys that fight all the time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And it is like when I\u2019m fighting in Rhode Island, or fighting in Massachusetts or fighting in New Hampshire you have to always ask &#8216;what rules are we using?&#8217; Then they will say \u2018oh we are using the unified rules\u2019. Then it is like &#8216;ok, but are we using the new ones or the old ones?&#8217; It is tough as a coach, as a referee, as a judge, and as a fighter to understand. You know, you have to make decisions in a split-second and it is tough when you always have to think about which rules are we using. And which slight variations of the position were going on and stuff like that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;[The UFC 210 ordeal] sucks for everyone all the way around in the Weidman vs. Mousasi fight,&#8221; Lauzon continued. &#8220;It sucks for Chris because he doesn\u2019t know [what&#8217;s happening]. He is being told he is getting time because he was hit with an illegal shot. So he was trying to take his time. You know the referee thought it was an illegal shot. So he was stopping it based on that. And again, this is a split-second thing. It was so close. When you stop and show it in slow motion, yea you can determine that it was legal. But in real time it is so tough to tell how that all played out and whether or not the strike was legal.\u00a0So it sucks for Mousasi too. He did nothing wrong. He did what he is supposed to do and hit a legal shot. So now it is like ok he got the win but it wasn\u2019t the win he wanted to have. So it sucks for him. It sucks for the commission. Because now that they have been brought in, they cannot let Weidman continue. It is just a really unfortunate turn of events for everyone involved.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"730\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-232784\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-Gegard-Mousasi.png\" alt=\"Chris Weidman's corner reacts to Gegard Mousasi stoppage\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-Gegard-Mousasi.png 730w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-Gegard-Mousasi-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-Gegard-Mousasi-585x305.png 585w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Chris-Weidman-Gegard-Mousasi-390x203.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lauzon then suggested that, from a big picture perspective, this mad moment was probably necessary.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI love Weidman, I love [Matt] Serra, I love [Ray] Longo,&#8221; he said of Weidman and his team. &#8220;But it had to happen. You know where this up-and-down thing happened under the unified rules. The fighters are told, you know, \u2018play by the rules\u2019. Ok so we play by the rules. So part of playing by the rules is if you\u2019re caught in a bad spot then put your hand down. You are told \u2018ok put your hand down and you can\u2019t get kneed in the head\u2019. That was with the old rules. But now with the new rules, that is not ok anymore. So someone had to be that guy who was going to try and play by the old rules and put their hand down and then get kneed in the head.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI really hate to have it happen to Weidman because he is a guy I really like watching and he is just a super guy,&#8221; Lauzon continued. &#8220;You know I love his coaches and those guys are all awesome. But it had to happen to someone. You know someone had to try and play that game and get kneed in the head.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSome people are now saying to roll it back to the old rules, but I say no to that. I think it played out perfectly for the sport as a whole. Because you know if that happens to me, now I am not going to try and put my freaking fingers on the ground to try and avoid getting kneed in the head. I will instead keep my forearms low and try to block the oncoming strikes and under my own power get out of that position.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSo like I say, it sucks that it happened to Weidman.
