But cheating in mma is cheating, not being a heel. There is no career ramifications for being cheated out of a victory in pro wrasslin, but Kos cheating his way to a win against Rumble really effects someones career. I'm all for heels like Brock and Sonnen, but their heelness doesn't affect anyone.
Oh no, I wasn't trying to condone that shit at all man. I found the knee phantom knee shitty as hell. Not cool at all. The eye poke I still give Kos the benefit of the doubt with, though I haven't watched it since it happened. The bullshit cheating I don't agree with at all and is something that does bother me about Kos, but he is a very solid fighter who can be very exciting when he wants to be.
