UFC 71 Houston Alexander vs Keith Jardine (Fight)*-*Fights Video | MMA | UFC | Pride | Vs*-*Fights Video | MMA | UFC | Pride | Vs

So I was preparing a UFN 15 Special on another site and noticed an illegal knee in the fight. I know I know very late did anyone notice it too

If you're referring to the knee Houston lands on Jardine while he's against the cage then you're spot on. We all know Jardine was finished anyways, and stopping the fight during such a heated moment would only soil an otherwise quality KO highlight.

I agree I just never noticed it before and I seen it a few times

Yep noticed it.

[xeducatex]

i think jardine would win that fight 9times out of 10
a motivated keith jardine is unstopable
just watch the jardine liddel fight
or the griffin fight.
when jardine is on hes one of the best on the world in my opinion

[smoogy]

To me it looked like he kind of pushed Jardine back into the cage with the knee, but it was certainly against the rules. That kind of stuff happens quite a bit though, like when Guillard freaked out and dropkicked Gabe Rudiger in the shoulder, or Robbie Lawler throwing in a few short soccer kicks at the end of the second Scott Smith fight

its not illegal unless its to the head..looks like it hit the shoulder

[blah]

that's basically karma for jardine from the forrest fight, LOL

Wow, I never noticed it before but since it was pointed out and I was looking for it, I saw it. The knee didn't hit the shoulder neither, it looked like a head shot to me. Looks to me Houston was getting carried away with the fight and just did it out of instinct, so it seems.

Watchin this fight and Houstons recovery from the big shot Jardine caught him with I might be inclined to agree that his fight with Irvin might have been a premature stoppage.

And yes I saw the knee lol.
