The ref in the Sam-A/Prajanchai fight keeps warning them if they're idle for too long. Can you be punished in Muay Thai for stalling or not engaging enough?

That's more ONE rules in general; they heavily discourage passive fighting. You could see that in action during the HW title fight when the ref threw the yellow card at Bhuller for ducking through the ropes.

Here's the link and timestamps for all the ONE Friday Fights bouts today, the only fight that was truly not worth your time was, you guessed it, the heavyweight MMA title fight. Really great show.

I don't know, the Muay Thai was good and all, but watching Bhullar cowardly scamper out the ring kind of made my day.

PFL put out a press release on one of the fights last night

"PFL Statment posted:

Last Night Natan Schulte and Raush Manfio did not meet the standards which all PFL fighters agree to uphold in competition.

All fighters in their PFL Fight Agreements agree to use their "best efforts ... skills and abilities as a professional athlete to compete ... and defeat any opponent.”

It was very clear that Natan and Raush did not meet that contractual standard in yesterday’s bout.

PFL immediately suspended both fighters from the season and deemed the fight to have 0 points for purposes of League standings.

PFL takes this action in recognition of its responsibility to all PFL fighters and all PFL fans.

Here are the updated Lightweight Semifinal Matchups:

#1 Clay Collard vs. #4 Shane Burgos

#2 Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. #3 Bruno Miranda

They are suspending both Natan Schulte and Raush Manfio who fought yesterday.
And now Burgos advances to the playoffs

Boy, how incredibly coincidental that the PFL is so mad about this specific fight that they just HAD to suspend them and progress the guy they spent the most money on into the playoffs he otherwise wouldn't have made it to

Yup. Also Manfio and Schulte are literally best friends. They were forced to fight each other, and when they didn't give each other brain damage they were suspended using a made up rule after the fact. Good poo poo all around

GSP famously doesn't go on social media and doesn't read the news. He probably knows Musk makes rockets, electric cars and owns twitter and is friends with his friend Joe Rogan. It doesn't make GSP a bad person because he's not terminally online.

And he probably will. Emmers is a very solid fighter and he'll have a very solid size advantage here, but that's not going to stop Jenkins from kicking his leg out of his leg. JACK JENKINS BY DECISION.
