While we’ve largely been turned to the debut of Garry Tonon it’s been a spectacular weekend in mma. As many as 3 promotions featured spectacular suplex throws that ended in bloody messes for the most part.

Apparently the suplex is now illegal in ONE. Even though one of their up-and-coming stars Christian Lee had a suplex finish 3 months ago against Kotetsu Boku. pic.twitter.com/Ci9gx8yksW

It's entirely possible Lee's finish initiated a rule change, but that seems like a weird place to draw the line considering some of the slams we've seen in ONE. pic.twitter.com/EpbyNApILV
