UFC VP explains opposing verdicts for illegal knee strikes at UFC 259 and UFC Vegas 21
Share this story
For two UFC events in a row, we’ve seen illegal knee strikes end fights prematurely. The first one happened at UFC 259 between bantamweights Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling. A week later, middleweight Eryk Anders and Darren Stewart were involved in the same predicament. Related
The difference, however, was in the fight result. Yan vs. Sterling ended in a DQ win for the latter, while Anders vs. Stewart ended in a No Contest verdict.
So what was the difference? Here’s the explanation provided by UFC Vice President for Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner.
Eryk Anders Apologizes To Darren Stewart for Illegal Knee at UFC Vegas 21
1000 apologies to @Darren mma. I know he wanted to keep going. I made a critical error in the heat of the moment and it cost us and the fans a barn burner. Eryk Anders (@erykanders) March 14, 2021
Referee Herb Dean ruled the fight a No Decision after Anders landed an illegal knee following a knockdown of Stewart late in the first round. It was an unfortunate end to a quick turnaround for Anders after struggling to counter Stewart earlier in the fight.
“I’m tremendously disappointed,” Anders said in his post-fight press conference. “I sacrificed a lot for this camp, it was the best weight cut I’ve ever had and was a complete lapse of judgment in the heat of the moment.”
