EliteXC: Andrei Arlovski vs Roy Nelson | October 4, 2008

2:40 Arlovski: "hey ref! Are you just gonna watch?! Help me here!" Ref: "ok, stand up!!

Roy Nelson working a chimura lock while landing knees to the body from side control Ref: "Improve your position! okay STOP!"

[@jonpictogramjones4045]

Literally such a dominant position not much position he could even improve. He wouldn’t have had a kimura grip from other positions

[@Valchrist1313]

​@@jonpictogramjones4045 You never get the kimura in the pros, but you do get the guy to scramble and give up his back or the mount. Hate when the ref gets involved in the fight. They stop clinches along the cages way too early still.

[@labzline]

Yeah something about that seem weird. Also royal clearly won that first round. But the other two people in the ring against Roy that had microphones it said Orlowski one.

This is ridiculous. I know it's old but come on ref, have at least a little mma knowledge. He basically took the fight away from Roy. Oh he's in side control and mid submission? Let's stand em up. What a joke.

I like Arlovski but that referee was definitely giving him special treatment, standing them up when Nelsons in side control and stopping the fight as soon as Roy fell back was very unfair.

[@HarryHeath-pb6rv]

Dude was a spoiled ex UFC king and he may have had special treatment

[@croakingfrog3173]

Roy was out. It was good stoppage but the ref shouldn't have stood them up earlier.

[@shaunspence850]

Neither of these guys ever gave us a boring fight that I can remember.

[@DanTronman]

I don't recall ever seeing a ref make fighters stand up when there was obvious action and one with control. Fixed

[@Lmvtthivz]

Not enough action bruh, cope harder😂

[@lionelhutz5137]

Not to mention the referee stood them up after Arlovski motions to the referee with his hands and says "he's not doing anything". Like, really? The referee is the only one who should dictate when the fight should be stood up again. Shit referee.

@blake philbrook I'm not a fan of Roy either but roughly 2/3rds of his wins are by KO.

Roy was smart, and KOd a lot of people. I don’t remember him grappling a whole lot. All great champions did the “lay and pray”

[@TheHardway1916]

If you can neutralize your opponent who should be able to get up if it was only weight keeping on the ground, I think that a natural middle weight who don't train much and 80 lbs over his weight should be respected especially by chump who probably can barely beat off let alone beat someone up

[@chevyblock550]

One of the most egregious reffing decisions in MMA history.

[@chakko007]

Dunno about that. He totally looked knocked out, and didn't even get in any kind of defensive position when he went to the ground. That's a clear KO in my eyes. Just because he complained about an early stoppage afterwards doesn't make it the wrong decision. He would have caught some absolute bombs if the ref didn't stop it. He didn't even get his hands up to cover his head.

@chakko007 It's not the KO. It's the Stand up from the ground.

That ref sucks. Seemed like every time Big Roy was in control the ref would separate them. I’ve seen fights that would spend way more time working along the fence without getting separated, and I’ve never seen a fight get brought too their feet when someone was working a submission. Rigged fight or perhaps just a bias ref who’d rather see Roy lose.
