Today, at One On TNT 1, MMA fans were surprised when both UFC former champions, Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez, lost their match. The two admitted that the losing them was worthy, and they stated that they would soon return in the next match.
However, many viewers are arguing that the difference in the competition law between One Championship and UFC has been able to completely lead to another result for both Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez.
First, Demetrious Johnson was crushed by Adriano Moraes Knock-out by a blow on the pillow while he fell down on the floor. Although Johnson was stunned by the uppercut from the Brazilian opponent, it could be seen that he was completely “powered down” by mixing on the pillow.

Law One championshipon the pillow on the head of an opponent who has more than 3 points of touching the floor is allowed – One only banned the kick kick kick on the head of the opponent in the kneeling, falling, cow under the floor (Grounded Opponent).
Meanwhile, UFC completely banned stones, kicked and on the pillow of the boxer's head was in a “Grounded” state. Error to the head of the opponent who is in a state of kneeling or crawling on the floor will force the referee to postpone the match (Time-Out); Except for the local and more serious points is to lose (disqualified) for the boxer to attack the law.
A specific example was not long ago, Aljamain Sterling enjoyed the bantamweight championship belt after Petr Yan foul on the pillow on the opponent's head in a kneeling state.
If Adriano Moraes and Demetrious Johnson are playing in UFC, it must be a similar situation – Moraes lost the championship, Johnson won thanks to the serious rival.
“That is why the blows on the head of the opponent are falling and have been banned!
“I hope Johnson is fine, but I still think that One should ban this pillow. #Oneontnt1”
Next, let's consider the case of Eddie Alvarez being tried to lose with the error after the head of IIRI Lapicus.
The situation at that time was Eddie Alvarez who was occupying the upper hand, hooking the foot of the opponent's leg and trying to hit the head of Lapicus. Lapicus covers the face to protect the face.
Because Iri turned his head inside, the punches that Alvarez wanted to punch the ear and his face hit the nape of Lapicus. He punched the neck 3 times, even though the referee reminded him. Therefore, Alvarez was received a red card and loser due to mistakes.
“I used my head to keep Iri's head, bucking up the Iudi head in my punch,” Eddie Alvarez explained after the match, recognizing the referee's decision as completely accurate.
“I thought that just those punches hit the ears, it was still valid punches.”

With the same error, UFC also applies the form of warning and subtracting, but will only make a mistake that the foul is lost when the victim has really been knocked down or has a serious injury in the neck – neck.
So, it can be said that if this was a match at UFC, Perhaps Eddie Alvarez would not be so bad for losing due to the wrong law. At most, the match can only be canceled the result.
