Coach weighs in on highly controversial UFC 312 knockout involving Anshul Jubli

Anshul Jubli's coach, Siddharth Singh defended his fighter after the disputed result, claiming that similar knockdowns in the past were tolerated. He mentioned historic UFC bouts such as Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard and Cheick Kongo vs. Pat Barry as examples of fighters overcoming early knockdowns to win. Singh said that Jubli was not given a fair chance to fight back:

"I would like to give references to two fights, first one is Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard. This fight is very important to take note of, this is a fight from 2011. In the first round, Gray Maynard hurt Frankie Edgar thrice. But the fight was allowed to proceed by the referee. Later, Frankie Edgar, despite being hurt, comes back and wins the fight. The second fight reference is of Cheick Kongo vs Pat Barry. This fight is important because, in this fight, Pat Barry hurt Cheick Kongo very badly. But it was Cheick Kongo who knocked out Barry later on."

Acknowledging the mistake that led to the knockout, Singh remained optimistic about Jubli’s future:

"Yes, he did make a mistake that he got caught with a punch...There's so much hard work for a fighter, that he wants to fight, he wants to show his skillset. But anyway, it is what it is, Anshul will be back, He is motivated, he's hungry and I guarantee you that next time you watch Anshul, he'll be better than ever before."
