So JJ gets the belt back, then Rose gets it back .... although JJ may not be able to make 115 now with her enhancements.

That's interesting, do you think it was illegal?

"Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his or her head or neck" is one the rules and Rose is clearly slammed on her head.

Do you think the rules are too loosely enforced in bouts?
Sometimes I think fighters are too comfortable breaking these rules because the worse they'll probably get is a warning.

I've seen guys do blatant fence grabs, eye pokes, holding the shorts, hands in the gloves, strikes to the back of the head and are rarely if ever penalized for it. IIRC Rampage did a piledriver on Ryan Bader at the end of their fight too and wasn't even warned for it.
