Big Dan Got the Moicano Stoppage RIGHT!

Renato Moicano was in a dominant position against Tom Nolan when referee Big Dan Miragliotta made a controversial decision: he stood the fighters back up. Moments later, Moicano was caught and knocked down. Was the referee wrong to take away Moicano's position? Chael Sonnen says absolutely not. Chael breaks down why having a dominant position doesn't automatically mean a fighter gets to stay there indefinitely. The referee had warned both athletes that they needed to advance the fight, and when Moicano failed to create meaningful offense, Big Dan followed through. Chael also revisits a similar controversy involving Roy Nelson and Andrei Arlovski, when a referee stood the fighters up despite Nelson having side control. The decision was unpopular, but Chael argues that an unfamiliar call isn't necessarily wrong. And here's the biggest surprise: Renato Moicano agrees with the referee. Chael explains why Big Dan made the right decision, why Moicano deserves credit for acknowledging it, and why the MMA community needs to reconsider how it judges referee stand-ups. #RenatoMoicano #TomNolan #ChaelSonnen #BigDanMiragliotta #UFC #MMA Bad Guy Inc merch now available at https://BadGuyInc.com Click here to subscribe: https://bit.ly/3FrHIPK Follow me on IG: https://bit.ly/3HY7BIE Follow me on Twitter: https://bit.ly/3tvY5J7 Follow me on Threads https://www.threads.com/@sonnench
