What did Mo tap do? It didn't look like Barnett had anything tight at that point. He even seemed surprised at the verdict. Then the return knee at the end was odd. Barnett should have let him knee him in the balls during the fight rather than afterward. Just an odd, odd fight. Still, I think Barnett is a handful for anyone in this division. I wish he could get off the juice.

it kinda looked like a key lock but he didnt even start cranking it, it looked like "mighty" mo was gassing and just wanted a way out of the fight anyways

I think that is the first time I have ever seen anyone do what Barnett did after the fight.
As both fighters' camps streamed into the ring (after the bell), Barnett offered an immediate apology and gave Siligia a free shot to his groin, and Siligia quickly obliged.

Whats with the blatant nutshot Barnett threw? As if it's not bad enough he has to roid up on top of already having some of the best talent in the world at his division, he has to fight dirty too?

I think the Cole Escovedo was my favorite KO of the weekend after all is said and done. Something about a hard kick to the face KO. Howard's was awesome as well.

Yeah, 2:50 into the video you see Barnett kick his lead leg straight up and forward toward the scrotal region.

They both throw a kick at the same time and are coming towards each other because of it. Barnett couldn't raise his kick to match the height of about 7 other identical kicks like that he threw in the fight because Mo happened to be about a foot closer because of his kick.
It was a blatant kick that happened to find nuts. I wouldn't call it a blatant nut shot in an attempt to cheat though.
