WTF
That was brutal.
LOL @ Frank denying it was illegal for awhile
It's official: Frank Shamrock is a complete idiot!
i thought it was a kick to the face
knees sShould be legal anyway, ref should have stopped it before then, etc.
TomBSupraT - That was brutal.

I was yelling at my screen.
cmon Frank has a history with those.
It looked like it hit arm to me....

Not so much.
Yeah, if that knee connected to the head at all it was just a grazing blow. Looked like it was mostly arm/chest.
Mauro made a good point about Gurgel really risking the longevity of his career with his stubborn stand and wang style.
Monsters Ball - Did the knee affect the outcome of the fight? NO
Was the final knee illegel? YES

Does the final strike being illegal mean the fight should be a no contest, at best? Yes.
Without looking at Texas rules, my assumption is that Gurgel should have been given 5 minutes after the first round to recover and 5 minutes after the illegal knee. At either point, if unable to continue, it should have been a DQ of Noons or a No Contest, depending on Texas's actual sanctioned rules.
Not illegal or effective.

The knee was NOT illegal.
Good god, he kicked his arm, did you guys not watch the replay from the other angle? His shin hits his arm, he did NOT knee him in the head.
Noons fought with class the whole fight. Even looked to the ref for the stoppage earlier.

I thought he missed with it. No?
WTFPICS - Ref was clearly on his way to stop it before the knee. As far as the ref was concerned, the fight was over before the knee, whether is was legal or illegal. If anything, it was an extra shot in the heat of the momentcorrect. also we need a gif from another angle for the knee. hd would be best.
