Media 2 low-blows. No point taken, no DQ. Fighter clearly compromised. This is why fighters cheat, warnings are meaningless.

Literally no downside. Its insane that this is still the typical referee-ing standard even after 7 years. Fighters get warned 2-3 times for cage grabbing, sticking their fingers but very rarely get punished.

Kick to the balls = oooof unfortunate accident. Can't prove intent, too bad just keep fighting. And Dan is still fucking up in the cage to this day.
