Was the takedown legit? Cost me pick 4..without seeing the head on it did appear legit and cost placing blah blah blah.

Ortiz couldn't keep Power Nap from lugging in and definitely knocked Chamois off stride. Could easily be interpreted as costing him 2nd as Aktebentay might not have caught him otherwise. Just enough of a foul to warrant the DQ. You could see Morley was steaming. Expected the win and the claim. Linda Rice, of course, got Power Nap.

That call stunk. He grazed him as he blew by him and the kid tried to make it look good. It was a bullshit call and Morley was right to be ripshit
