Joel Alvarez choked Marc Diakiese in the preliminary portion of UFC London on Saturday, but it didn’t come without controversy.
Alvarez locked in a slick D’arce choke with seconds left in the clock in the second stanza and forced Diakiese to tap, but the grappling exchange began moments after an unintentional clash of heads that was missed by referee Dan Movahedi.
Pro fighters took on social media to react to the controversy, including UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Check the comments below, and click here to watch the finish.

Sad for both guys. Should’ve at the minimum been a pause in the action. Too many weeks and money goes into these camps to not do the right thing by the athletes https://t.co/vPtb4ggFi0

It’s almost like they group up and say, “let’s ignore it and pretend we had a chat”. Or “who’d you bet on?? Ok so let’s leave it like this thing and break me off a piece.”

It’s disgusting. https://t.co/cmJWZsO6cW
If they don’t change that to a NC, that’s just foul and proves again that there is NO CONSISTENCY in our sport. We need to show an example for certain situations, fouls, etc, so we at least have a baseline on what we’re comparing things too. Remove more of the human “guessing”. https://t.co/invbrBXcFj

Diakiese was flattening out like what because it’s a darce defense. He just wasn’t able to stay flat. #UFCLondon
