The line on unsportsmanlike conduct in MMA isn’t exactly clear. After all, when Michael Page is Poke Ball-ing Evangelista Santos after caving the man’s forehead in, who’s to say what’s too far?
The California State Athletic Commission, for one. And Drew Chatman isn’t about to disagree with them.
Last Friday, March 23rd at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, Chatman entered a heavyweight bout against fellow debuting MMA fighter Irvins Ayala. The bout did not start out well for the 23-year-old Dethrone Basecamp prospect.
Early in round 1, Chatman threw a kick, which Ayala caught, dropping Chatman to the mat, where Ayala looked poised to rain down some serious damage.
