Glory v. Kaylor - Referee Cowardice

[uncle bernard]

One of the most obvious headgear pulls by Glory you will ever see that was crucial for finishing a takedown. He grabs both the straps, then the ear guards. Officials go to look at it. Watch it happen in slow motion for 5 minutes, then come back on the mat and say "no evidence it happened." Embarassing. Why sign up for the job if you're afraid to do it?

yeah that was pretty bad.  no way around it.

An interesting call... I surely thought that the TD would be disallowed.

Sadly, it wasn't.

Terrible call.... how do you not  make that call from obvious video. I'm not anti-Glory, but he seems to get a lot rests in his matches, whether it be a review or whatever.

Meanwhile... it will also be interesting to see how Glory will recover after a 1hr weigh-in, here on out.

After getting taken down by Kaylor... Glory held his own (though, had the headgear grab TD been disallowed, may have changed the complexion of that bout.)

Well he didn't pulling completely off ... but almost.

That must be the criteria now.
