SpartanFightClub - Ok, look guys, there is an athletic commission in Quebec, you cant do what you want...
I'm a mma coach and i cornered guys here in Quebec.
There is rules about the lenght of gaz you can take.
When you do the taping, you MUST have a 'blue guy' (that's how wecall them here) right after you. He will stay right behind you the entire time you do the taping.
When you are finished, he will 'sign' the taping, so you cant alterate it. Look, you cant even go outside the dressing room after the taping, if you need to go to bathroom and go out of the dressing room, you have to ask to the 'bue guy' and he will follow you to the bathroom!!
When the fight time is comming, they(blue man) will put your glove on and verify if the 'signature' is on the taping and not alterate and tape your wrist with blue or red tape (ducted tape) for the right corner color.
I skipped over most of the posts and just assumed Jake was whining but um huh...
Never seen anyone in our dojo have wraps that looks like that ever, lol because now I'm going to parrot Jake and say I'm not saying he's cheating but that's way odd.

I'm curious about this picture too. The wraps don't look like anything I have seen before.
That being said, these wraps are not signed by anyone. That means they could have been completely re-wrapped after this picture was taken. I doubt they would sneakily change the wraps after the commission signed off on them then take a picture.
BigEyedFish - doesnt the commission have observers when the hands are being wrapped too?
Yes. It was the commission that would not let the Diaz representative back into the dressing room because Shields had already given the OK on the gloves.
However, according to Shields, he thought the wraps looked "shady". So he decided to tell the commission that they were OK, then leave. We can only assume he went to ask Cesar for permission to complain, since Jake hasn't taken the oppurtunity to come back and explain the situation.
Jake probably forgot brass knucles weren't allowed but then after he clarified with Cesar they wouldn't let him back in the dressing room. Very shady indeed.
Post fight presser: 10:50 approx mark Dana addresses it, its only his words but he says Jake ok'd the wraps but then came back and wanted to have someone else have a look which is not protocol apparently, once ok'd, its ok'd so if this is true, it was Jake trying to be "shady" (or that him being denied a 2nd look was within protocol).
same clip, 32:30 'ish mark George talks about the scene Jake and his camp made in George's locker room about the wraps, the whole situation smells a little shady im afraid to say on your side, Jake.
Did you ok it initially then come back for another look and then make the scene when you were told that it was done?

in other words these (Jake Sheilds and co) clowns have no good reason to complain
