As for those of you saying "Omg they only need to touch once." Doing so because the ref asks it isn't really that special. Doing so after the bell has rung is sign of respect for your opponent as a sportsman. It only takes, what, an extra 3 seconds of the fight?. Pretty sure no one is in that big of a hurry(Or you wouldn't be reading this). Oh well, he got his cheap win and learned nothing from it.

He obviously wanted to touch gloves again, dont be a b.itch and run up and clock him. Bakers a scared little boy. Doesnt matter if it's a fair hit or not.

He came out with his hands in fighting position and bounced across the ring like he was going to clock him, which he did. It's clear to me that he wasn't going to touch gloves and he was ready to fight. The other guy should have been ready. It's not like he was reaching out to touch gloves and than sucker punched him.

In my eyes i would do the exact same especially with the build up from the night before. GOOD JOB BAKER maybe ill see u if u drop to 185.

Emotions run high and the number one rule in MMA is when the bell rings PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES! Good job Mat. Nick Dias's stance looks exactly like way Sauve was standing.

Once is more then enough to be sportsman like. Besides that its a fight and baker one by all the rules.. I would do the exzact same especialy with Suave refusing to shake hands and do a stare-down the night before at the weigh-ins. Personaly I think Baker could have done better then 6 seconds if he decided to actually sprint across and drop him. How many times do you have to touch gloves?

Then Come Out And Touch Gloves Before Fighting" I'm Pretty Sure This Is Why The Ref Says: "TOUCH GLOVES AND COME OUT FIGHTING" GOOD JOB BAKER!! How Would It Sound If The Ref Said:

"Touch Gloves… Then Come Out And Touch Gloves Before Fighting"

I'm Pretty Sure This Is Why The Ref Says:

"TOUCH GLOVES AND COME OUT FIGHTING"

GOOD JOB BAKER!!

Alot of fighers keep distance this way, especially if they have a reach advantage. from another point of view it looks like the opponent is holding distance to throw a jab.
