2023-09-02 20:25:37

A funny scenario. ” What are you doing ? “, shouted Fares Ziam, French fighter in the corner of Yanis Ghemmouri, to the referee, Saturday, during UFC Paris 2. The latter had just stopped the fight in the third round, following a a kick from William Gomis, declared the winner, above Ghemmouri’s belt.

The latter had stopped the exchanges to complain that the blow in question had been received in the private parts. Not to the taste of the referee, who decided to end the fight on K.-O. technique in the general incomprehension, that the replays broadcast at the Accor Arena have not really buried.

The public, which had taken sides neither for one nor for the other of the French combatants, whistled because it would have liked more. “I know how to aim, I know when I feel the shell (protective of the private parts)”, said Gomis, as if to say that his kick was completely legal.

After his second fight at UFC Paris, for a second victory, the MMA Factory fighter, Ciryl Gane’s room, added: “It was weird to face a Frenchman. I prefer to kick foreign fighters over the head. (Laughs.) But I hope we made the audience happy. »
