Daily Debate: Did Jeremy Stephens' controversial knee, elbows on Josh Emmett affect outcome?

Well, well, well. What are we to think of Jeremy Stephens’ win over Josh Emmett at UFC on FOX 28?

Stephens (28-14 MMA, 15-13 UFC) finished Emmett (13-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in violent fashion on Saturday night in his second straight main event, but the knockout wasn’t without controversy. Emmett and his team weren’t happy with an apparent illegal knee and elbows to the back of the head that helped end the fight after Stephens dropped him with a left hand.

Emmett has declared his intention to appeal the outcome. But the fact of the matter is, referee Dan Miragliota allowed the fight-ending sequence to continue despite the controversial strikes.

It’s one thing to question the legality of the strikes. As part of our new Daily Debate feature, we asked MMAjunkie Radio listeners and MMAjunkie readers: Do you believe Stephens’ strikes in question affected the outcome of the fight?
