You know what they say about crime and time. If you do the former, you can also expect to do the latter.
That’s the not-so-unique situation Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight power-puncher Roy Nelson finds himself in, thanks to an investigation from Brazil’s Superior Justice Court of Sport, which often works in conjunction with Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA).
You’re supposed to kick your opponent, not the referee.
“Even though CABMMA understands Roy Nelson’s ‘frustration’ in that situation due to his close relationship with his opponent, that does not justify his act and can open a serious and dangerous precedent in the sport,” CABMMA spokesperson Cristiano Sampan told MMAjunkie.
