Did bj penn rub his fingers in joe stevensons cut?

Question

it looks like at to me. when bj was on top soon after the elbow that opened it up . my wife says he was wiping blood out of joes eyes so the fight would'nt be stopped, but i don't know don't seem like bj would do something illegal like that. it is illegal to put your fingers in an open cut . right? you can see the fight on mmalinker.com

Answer 1

after the elbow in the first round theres one point where joe is punching bj and bj puts his hand on joes head and pushes it into the mat, trying to distract joe so he could free up his hand, the ref is over the action so he obviously didn't do anything wrong right there

as to your wifes comment it almost looks like that because joes forehead is bloody before that and after bj's hand moves its just got blood where the cut is

i also know from doing MMA you push someone into the mat, into the fence, h**l theres one thing called the friendship position where you put your head on there cheek, then stand up n drop all your weight on your head

the idea is to make them uncomfortable so they can't fight well, this is another reason why they say being up against the fence hurts so much, your being pushed into metal, no way to back up, with your opponent infront of you
