But I thought they were challenging if he got back past 90 degrees before the 3 count. But it was definitely a big 3 points, for sure. For 2, it happens a lot in the scrambles they get into these days. I don't think gaj was doing it as defense, his opponent was trying to put him there. The rule causes people to try to roll, shift their grip, etc, which usually leads to position changes and more scrambling, rather than just laying there waiting for a stalemate..

For 1 it looked correct but it was close enough to challenge -- donjfs3 Mar 21, 2026 at 04:18 PM ET
