UFC Fighters React To Controversial Simon – Dvalishvili Fight
UFC Atlantic City saw its fair share of controversy early on in the fight between Ricky Simon and Merab Dvalishvili. Several UFC fighters sounded off on the finish. Was Merab out?
I thought he was out. Last time I got choked out, I woke up kickstarting a motorcycle.–

I agree. Ref can't make a call after the fight has ended. He end plenty of oppurtunities to stop it with time left. https://t.co/brOl7qnHTD

It’s like this: if he was out before the bell then the ref made a mistake (innocent and honest mistake) and if he was out after the bell then he already won (assuming he was up on cards)

Ref calls the fight from stoppage after the time has run out? Crazy. Either way hell of a fight that was. #UFCAtlanticCity

I think that right man won, but since the ref messed up it should’ve went to the score cards…. agree? Great fight regardless. #ufc #fs1

That was a crazy ass bullshit decision much respect to Simon for a great fight but Dvalshvili won that fight you can’t get a TKO like that If he didn’t answer to bell in the 2nd maybe but its the end of the fight dude was on his back after a grueling 15mins! @ufc #UFCAtlanticCity

How can you call a stop after the round's over, and by TKO on a sub??? I am confused? —— pic.twitter.com/CvCvDP8Cc6
