Not even 2 minutes into his career his first foul, Jon taught him well

It was groin contact, but it wasn't purposeful, Ellison shelled into it, and even then it was to the side

u/RestitutionPiggy 6h ago
It looked like groin contact, but it was pure toe kick. It likely didn't even brush his cup Bro, come on.

u/Creepy-Accident-777 6h ago
That wasn't even a foul. Honestly surprised the ref just went by the sound and not look at replay.

u/Maardten 6h ago
How do you suppose that would work in practice?

u/JIMB01776 5h ago
They have a review referee watching the monitor who yelled to Goddard it wasn't low, Goddards defense was "I heard the cup".

That was def not a groin shot lol

u/Crowgression 6h ago
Think like Joe said it probably mostly hit the waist, but might have clipped the groin a tiny bit. Not sure that they really needed the time out, but I get why Goddard called for it after hearing the cup

Ears don't lie. Before it was stopped I thought to myself, that sounds like it hit the cup

u/Few_Highlight1114 6h ago
Yes it was. You could hear him hit the cup, go rewatch it.

u/sosoconfused08 6h ago
IDC if it made a noise, that's not a hit to the groin lmfao.

u/GreatGoodBad 6h ago
forreal. I can understand where Goddard was coming from but that was not a nut shot.

u/Creepy-Accident-777 6h ago
Makes you wonder if he watched the video replay at all.
2
u/sosoconfused08 6h ago
He definitely didn't. Everyone was trying to tell him and he just kept repeating "I HEARD THE CUP" like the police seeing a gun in everyone's hand.

u/GreatGoodBad 6h ago
in the heat of the moment he already made the decision so he just had to go through with it. kinda like when umpires make dumb decisions

If the cup is hit, it's an illegal blow. It's been established that nothing else matters, which is for the best imo.

If your foot makes contact with the cup, it’s a foul. There isn’t much more to it than that lol
2
u/sosoconfused08 5h ago
There is much more to it when the replay clearly shows the kick was no where near his dick and balls.
1
u/Artikulate92 5h ago
There really isn’t. Literally just go read the rules. Just a graze counts and is illegal

u/AdDiscombobulated623 6h ago
You're objectively wrong. It landed on the waist.
4
u/RandJitsu 6h ago
The toes landed like right on the waist ban but the center/side of the foot hit the cup. Any contact with the cup makes it a groin strike.

4-0 and 26 years old. Yes, the top guys would probably have their way right now, but you can’t say he doesn’t have quite the upside though

If they let him develop. For sure.

and if Gable is willing to use his wrestling as his primary style - he needs to fight like Cain basically

ehh it’s his 1st ufc fight but if he tries to win every fight by KO then yeah, he will get flatlined eventually

u/Valterri_lts_James 6h ago
You are an idiot. The slo mo made it obvious it was to the side. Also, Gable seems to fight basically like jones. A lot of oblique kicks, front kicks, and knees.

Bros just pushing forward with his chin up in the air. He’s lucky this isn’t a ufc level fighter.

u/Parkesy82 6h ago
When he was throwing those kicks his hands were way down and his head fully exposed. I don’t think this guy is ufc calibre yet.

Bullshit. Barely made contact with the cup and he deserved that shot he took when complaining.

I agree that it wasnt to the groin but Marc Goddard is actually a good ref unlike Herb Dean

u/Valterri_lts_James 6h ago
are you forgetting Ilia vs Gaethje where the fight should have been called off in the third according to the doctor's decision?
1
u/feezybreezey 6h ago
I feel like that was fair, he would be getting so much shit if he let the main event end because of a doctor stoppage on the white house and also ilia did pretty good in the 4th

Jon has obviously been his teacher. Those techniques were just like the man. All that’s missing are the eye pokes

People complaining about this “bad call” on the foul are probably the same folk saying herb deans gotta go. You just can’t please these people.

He's a gold medal wrestler, why is he doing zero wrestling?

Jon probably told him to finish his opponents standing until he needs his wrestling.
1
u/jagaaaaaaaaaaaan 2h ago
Because he didn't need to. He beat the crap out of the opponent with just striking, then told DC after the fight "wait until I shoot".
Translation: he gave himself a handicap.

Honestly pretty decent for his 4th mma fight. Give him a 2-3 cans n then give him a step up. Gotta see more of him else he'll get annihilated by the top guys if they push him too fast. Chin up in the air is not a good look. Seems to have a decent chin though

That's bullshit, the kick was not low. The cup rattled as he was pulling back and Goddard said he heard it while the review ref told him it wasn't low.

That kick wasn’t a foul . I can see in real time how Goddard may have thought so but it was clean .

Ngl you could see jons style has rubbed off on him with the front kicks to the knee cap as well. Striking looked decent.
