This event has been, on the whole, very bad. But two illegal knee DQs in a row makes it one of the best ever.

Exactly. I get why guys always make the wrong call to continue, but loving good on Diego for just saying gently caress it, I'll take the win.

The commissions are often state government agencies who have to pass laws or regulation changes to adopt the new regulations.

Most of the time they're "still evaluating" the new rules, though I think Texas straight up says we do things different down her ya'll gently caress off with your rule changes

Each state has it's own Athletic commision, and are each run by different sets of incompetent poeple. That pretty much decide willy-nilly wheter to adapt to these new rules or not, I could imagine them not wanting to take the expense of re-training judges/refs as a reason. Or poo poo, they could just feel there set of rules are fine and don't want to change them

For the most part it's literally just not wanting to because they don't like things about the new rules.

Also the new rules wouldn't have mattered in this case. A knee on the ground would be considered a downed opponent even in the new rules. They made it so that putting one hand down wouldn't count as being downed anymore to avoid people getting a finger onto the ground while in a front headlock to avoid getting kneed.

It was pretty funny watching Pereira argue that Diego had his hands on his legs despite he position being a DQ in any UFC ruleset.

And yeah, the old rule/new rule difference is if the fighter has 1 knee or 1 hand on the ground but is otherwise upright, having your rear end on the ground definitely counts as grounded regardless of which rules you're using.

I'm actually fine with Diego there, he got a bad cut from an illegal strike. Brazilian dude could have finished the fight whenever he wanted but instead acted and fought like a loving clown.
