Oh come on... Vicious elbow? That was the elbow of a ****ing sissy, Mullins didn't even fell to the ground although it was coming in his back at a time when he was already almost off balanced...
And his reaction was not as light as all of you seem to think, the photo shows clearly that he laid his hands on Garcia. We all know that it is a big no-no and will warrant a straight red, so Mullins has no one to complain to, just his blood rushed to the head.

Now as I said in another thread, of course Garcia overplayed it (nowhere near as much as Robben though), and of course had he stayed to his feet, nobody would have been off (although since the Sun Jihai incident show the ref ain't lenient and might just have sent off both anyway -or only Garcia had Hayden not acted so stupidly).

It's not a cheating **** that got Mullins off, it's Mullins own reaction.
