Miss UFC 207's biggest controversy? We've got photos of the knee that launched all the questions

LAS VEGAS – UFC 207 opened up with plenty of confusion and controversy on Friday night.

A welterweight fight between Tim Means (26-7-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and Alex Oliveira (16-3-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC), which started off the fight card in Las Vegas on UFC Fight Pass, ended in a no-contest thanks to a pair of knees deemed accidental to a downed opponent by Means.

Oliveira couldn’t continue, and the fight was over just when it was getting going in the first round.

The knees weren’t accidental, though, Means admitted – he meant to throw them, believing it was legal to do so. But referee Dan Miragliotta said they were illegal – Oliveira had one knee on the mat – and paused the fight.

What ensued on the broadcast between announcers Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg, plus UFC VP of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner, was nothing short of verbal chaos.
