Many people felt that the UFC fighter kind of mocked his opponent in this situation. He helped him with his mouthpiece and hit him after that. However, in the video, it is clearly visible that the guy sitting on top is dominating the fight. Also, the referee could have called the fight at any moment. If he had wanted to, he could have continued attacking until the referee intervened. But his fair play did not allow him to carry on with the fight.
