There could have been some words. I just don't think Manny would do this just to be a dick. I don’t like it but we don’t know what went down before the fight. There could have been some words.

Guy is an animal anyhow. no use looking for logic...

Its not cheating but dirty unfair and cheap. I'm not into all this glove touching and hugging at the end of a fight but pretending that you are and then kicking is just low. He will regret it in future. He should be booed for the rest of his career.

Totally classless. Pretending to show sportmanship only to throw a kick is just cheap. They should kick him out of the UFC like they did with babalu.

I wholeheartedly agree. Many of you have already pointed out the facts, so I won't reiterate what's already been said. The fact is, Manny deserves to lose respect from fans and fighters alike, and if UFC management wants to maintain its growing image of legitimacy they need to punish him. Sure it seems like a small offence, but if it can stir the pot around internet forums I can only imagine that other fighters are talking about it. I feel bad for Jeff Cox, who subsequently got manhandled by Manny. If only he had beat Manny we might have seen a real fighter show some class.

It just shows that manny shouldn't be respected, that was pretty much classless. I thought on the show that he was a douchebag and that pretty much confirms my thinking. He should have never put his hand out there if he was just gonna throw a cheap kick like that. I agree with #7 also, I think he and karo are poor sports. Fair our foul should not even be in question.
