The first rule of MMA is protect yourself at all times. What Gaff did was not outside the bounds of the rules. Even when Maia had her hand extended, she should have been ready to block any strikes that Gaff sent her way.

But did Gaff show poor sportsmanship? You tell us your opinion in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.
