Dirty move by Silva or not?

[Killer Bee]

As far as we know, Silva is a classy fighter; Some people are saying when he hit Nakaruma while Nak was taking his gi off was a dirty move, if it's not specified in the rules, do you guys consider that a dirty move by Silva or not...hell, it's not like Silva's gonna stop fighting in the middle of a fight and give Nak time to take his gi off..

Nak shouldn't have worn the gi.../thread


If you want to make a valid debate...talk about Silva's repetitive usage of holding on to the ropes while kicking down opponents.

No but he still hit him when he wasn't ready. Anyways it's Naks fault for taking off his gi in the middle of the match. Especially against Silva? That's like taking your eyes off a lion that's ready to pounce on you.

wearing a gi=asking for it

[IllWil]

Nak had his hands back up

[hbray]

no, protect yourself at all times!

[DarrenMT]

it should also be noted that silva's corner yelled at him to rush Nak, and so he did.

Not dirty whatsoever. First of all he didn't hit him while the gi was coming off, he gave him a second. Also Nak could have taken the guy off between rounds, it was his own fault. What if somebody wanted to take off their wrestling shoes in the middle of a fight? It would be deemed ridiculous.

all anyone needs to do is watch the fight again and use common sense...it's in the middle of the fight, Nak should not have taken it off...it even looked real weird for him to do that in the middle of the fight...furthermore, he had already taken it off when Silva and Nak started exchanging

is it dirty? no it's just not that classy...Sakuraba allowed Newton to get up from the ground and also allowed Royce Gracie many times to tuck in his gi while he backed off...but no one is as classy as Sakuraba, it really depends on the fighter

if you want dirty, holding the ropes, headbutting, and groin shots are what Silva's book of dirty moves is comprised of...if you want REAL dirty, just watch Arona's cut gouging
