\nAt this weekends TUF 17 Finale, UFC heavyweight Travis Browne (14-1-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) was awarded a win as well as the “Knockout of the Night” bonus for disposing of\u00a0competitor\u00a0Gabriel Gonzaga (14-7 MMA, 9-6 UFC) via elbows, just 71 seconds into their fight.<\/p>\n

At least\u00a0a couple\u00a0of the blows appear to violate both the no striking to the back of the head rule, and the 12-6 elbow rule. The referee may have ended the fight when the initial, legal elbows landed, and thus the later ones would not count towards a disqualification.<\/p>\n

This is the position held by UFC president Dana White who addressed the matter during the TUF 17 post-fight media scrum:<\/p>\n

“Me and Joe Silva looked at a replay of it on the Internet, he was out with the ones to the side (of the head), and then he hit him with a couple more to the back of the head after he was already out. That’s the way that I saw it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“You know me, if I didn’t think the referees did a good job I would tell you. They did a good job tonight, considering the bad situations tonight when people were in bad situations, they did a good job tonight of stopping the fights.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For his part, Browne says there was no ill intent:<\/p>\n

“I remember hitting him with one, and the referee was right there, I could kind of see him standing off to the side, and he didn’t say anything. I hit him with two more, and by that time he was done. I\u00a0just kind of stopped. I didn’t feel him fighting anymore. I try to be respectful in the cage, and if I know somebody can’t defend themselves, I’m not going to take advantage of that.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em>Gonzaga’s manager, Marco Alvan, says the decision will be appealed to the governing regulatory body, the Nevada Athletic Commission.\u00a0 Alvan made the following comments via Facebook:<\/p>\n

“Guys Gabriel Gonzaga is ok, thanks for the messages,” <\/em>wrote\u00a0Alvan.<\/p>\n

“I need to review it to count how many illegal elbows but Its a fact that it was illegal. I contacted Keith Kizer head of Nevada Athletic Comission and he told me to file a complaint and he would review it.<\/em>
\nI true believe it was illegal. I never complaint about a losses who knows me know that I handle it good but illegal we can not accept.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We appeal to the Nevada State Athletic Commission because we think were the illegal elbows neck. Whenever we had accepted any defeat, but this was illegal.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“This video is clear about the elbow.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I very hope the commission look it carefully and make a correct decision about it. We respect Travis and his camp but it was a sad night. We hope this result can be fixed and get a new fight between them.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
