It was a legal throw. If you look at the frame by frame picture you can see there is a space between their feet the hole time until Joe is clearly already falling down. And you can tell hes falling because of the position of his right leg. Also from the other side you can also see that Simons foot is not wrapped around Joes. Also Joe pulled Simon down on top of him so it was not simons fault he landed on top of joe. Also there are no standing eight counts in Nevada or whipping off the gloves so the ref made the correct call when he said fight after a legit Muay Thai dump. the only other choice the ref had was to stop it and Joe would still be crying about that. So Simon wins, let see a rematch.

This was a perfectly legal throw. I have not only fought pro myself but have seen hundreds of fights at lumpinee , raja, and even smaller venues in thailand and have seen this executed many times. The Thai fighter will also deliberatly throw a knee or kick to the fallint opponent. Also if the off balanced oppanent takes him down as well the fighter will land with a knee or elbow on the fall to hurt the falling opponent on the canvas. Which is a technique varied from a muay boran technique. I also think that the ref should of at least given Joe an 8 count as he was affected by the sweep.
