Luis Pena supports Robert Drysdale in Max Rohskopf cornering controversy

UFC lightweight Luis Pena doesn’t know what all the fuss is about.

The hot topic of the month is Robert Drysdale’s cornering of Max Rohskopf at UFC on ESPN 11, where Rohskopf quit on his stool in between the second and third rounds. The fight was only stopped after Rohskopf consulted a UFC official, however, because Drysdale refused to throw in the towel.

Drysdale has faced criticism for his cornering but Pena believes the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace made the right call and would expect his coaches to do the same if he ever found himself in Rohskopf’s position.
