I don’t understand what I’m seeing here. Chahid’s cut, theres a prolonged period of arguing, and they announce a no contest. It seemed like there were complaints about the anklewraps, but I don’t really get it.

You know..

I have this with English commentary at home, I’ll have to watch to see what they are saying.

I’m pretty sure the argument is that the cut was legitimately from the strike and it should count as a win. Of course there wasn’t enough time or action to go to the cards yet, either.

Should be a win for Direcki if the blow was legal that caused the cut. I like Chahid and I like watching him fight but I think Direcki would have outpointed him anyway.
