ONE Championship claims suplex is illegal and overturns victory to DQ

[nuraknu]

While we’ve largely been turned to the debut of Garry Tonon it’s been a spectacular weekend in mma. As many as 3 promotions featured spectacular suplex throws that ended in bloody messes for the most part...

Damn that one suplex from the guillotine position is crazy. I might have to try that.

Ok, I haven't been able to find a really good article about this, but until more info comes out, is appears that ONE decided after the fact that the move should be illegal. They're messing with the guy's record, but supposedly still giving him a win bonus, according to mmajunkie: "Despite the DQ, Kongsrichai will still receive his win bonus, according to company officials."

Like paying him off I guess? That means both fighters are receiving win bonuses. Unless it's just a newer rule that was decided recently so they're being lenient? Idk.

If suplexes are illegal, I don't even want to watch your product.

This. They're so rarely effective too. Like banning the jumping somersault kick. Occasionally used, rarely that effective

If they want to change the rules, then they should not penalize people before that rule is set. How far history are they going to turn fights into DQ's? Just the one? You know what they mean when they say "making up the rules as they go", that is not a good look.
