Comedian and MMA fan Adam hunter took to Twitter to ask people about their views on this issue. He wrote, “Ok, some people are claiming that Luque tapped, but the Ref didn’t see it. I honestly can’t tell, but it doesn’t look like it to me. What do you think?”
One of the people who Hunter tagged in his tweet was MMA fighter Garry Tonon. ‘The Lion Killer’ replied to the question and shared his views of the incident. He wrote, “I can see why it would look like a tap, but much like a detective, I think it’s important to look at the rest of the scene for clues.”
“At the point in time of the supposed tap, the position itself doesn’t look all that dangerous. Most likely it’s just a frantic hand trying to defend.”
While some people might believe that Luque tapped out in his fight against Chiesa. Tonon is clearly not one of them and he believes that ‘The Silent Assassin’ did nothing of that sort.
