ANAHEIM, Calif. – Michael Bisping thinks extreme consequences could stem from kneeing a grounded opponent. It’s been a topic that’s been heavily debated of late, especially after Petr Yan was disqualified for kneeing Aljamain Sterling in the head when he was a grounded opponent in their championship fight at UFC 259. Sterling was deemed unable to continue and as a result, Yan lost his title. In another incident but with different circumstances, flyweight champion Adriano Moraes retained his title at ONE on TNT I on Wednesday, when he knocked out Demetrious Johnson with a knee when he was a grounded opponent, a totally legal move under ONE’s unified rules.
