You Make The Call: Tim Spriggs' Stiffarm To The Face, Dirty Or No Big Deal?
Jiu-jitsu is often known as the gentle art, but we all know how things can get heated during a tough match. Take a look at the opening 30 seconds of the match between Joao Gabriel Rocha and Tim Spriggs

As they fight for grips from standing, Spriggs stiffarms Rocha in the face and drives him out of bounds. It’s not a scoring move but at the same time is not technically against the rules. 

What do you think?
