UFC strawweight contender Jessica Andrade scored a huge win on Saturday night with an emphatic finish on Rose Namajunas at UFC 237. Andrade ended the night with a piledriver slam, knocking “Thug Rose” out in the second round of their headliner fight.
But there came questions about the legality of the said move, which was brought up by a Twitter user to former referee and Bellator commentator “Big” John McCarthy. McCarthy did oblige with a brief explanation of the rules, stating why Andrade’s slam was completely legal.
When Rose goes for the armbar she has a choice to either let go of the armbar or try and hold onto it and go for the ride that Andrade is going to put on her.
