Unfortunate: Don’t blame my son for killing his MMA opponent | New York Post "Comparing boxing gloves, which are typically upwards of 10 ounces, to the much smaller MMA gloves, Ward Sr. said that MMA was basically a fight between bare-fisted brawlers".
I hate MMA, but I don't feel any sympathy for anyone hurt or killed because of their willing participation.
I'd feel the same about football if it wasn't for the youth-based infrastructure feeding the system. Get rid of that and I don't care what adults do to crush their crania.
MMA fighters know exactly what's up. This isn't chess. That said, if you have a ref, and you have rules, then the game needs to follow the rules. If he did indeed exceed the number of punches before the ref stepped in, there might be something to it.
