Straight forward, the rules are protect your self at all times, that was not a sucker punch. What that was, is just a lack of respect for the sport and the fighter he "fought"
Fighters are there to WIN... there is NO rule that says you are supposed to touch gloves! When you step in the cage, you better be ready to fight, or you will get knocked out like this guy did! Did he get caught off guard?.. Ofcourse he did!.... That's what he gets for trying to be a "nice guy" to the person he's getting ready to do COMBAT with. I bet this guy doesn't try to touch gloves anymore! Save the "paying respect" until AFTER you've knocked him the F**K OUT!
You're an idiot, it's a sign of respect and it should be done by everyone in this sport, because it's a SPORT. Don't you get it, to be sportsmanlike is not to act like a jackass backyard brawler and suckerpunch people. With your bar fighter mentality, this sport will never evolve and lift of it's feet to become successful..
They have ALREADY came to the center of the cage to TOUCH GLOVES, fatboy. The ref. even says, "touch gloves." When they go back to their corners.... they turn around, the ref. says "fight", and the bell rings..... game on!
Why don't we change the rules for you... from now on, after the bell rings, both fighters come out, give each other a hug, rub noses together, and when they both "feel" ready.... they start attacking each other!
Matt baker what a joke of a win.you should go back to beating up high school kids at house partys like you did in your early 20s lol.good luck with you career after that cheap win lol!
Rampage Jackson, in the new UF told his boys not to touch gloves again. I hate seeing it in a fight, touch at the start then ding ding its on. Its not like your going to dance or be best friends, lets be honest you step into the ring to knock each other out. Give baker a few more fights and he is going to be dangerous.
never give your opponent respect, your there to win for you and your family to put food on the table, you dont want to be the good guy you want to be intimidating, i bet you that guy will never try to touch gloves again, he learned his lesson
Protect yourself at all times! no matter what!! the trust and respect for your opponent leaves when you step into the ring. Baker won, but it's gonna get tougher and other opponents will know not to touch gloves with him next time! ya I think it was kinda cheap. but its the mma. and who was the dude who looked like he rolled off the couch to fight baker?
protect yourself dont protect yourself it was a complete disrespect not only to the other fighter but to the sport of mma if you want a fight with no respect go fight on the streets theres a code of conduct to this sport that this fighter obviously does not know you can say all this shit you want but what he did was fucked up and a pussy way out
whether you agree with the touch gloves thing or not, dont use the fact that someones paying you respect against them, thats a bitch move through and through
no sportsmanship

Ya It was a cheap shot, but that guy he was fighting should have known better plus Matt would have kicked his ass anyway. They should have a rematch.

Brock Lesnar - Frank Mir didn't touch gloves for the Heavyweight title.
I guess they probably fight in bars too...
