with MMA you have the smaller gloves but more importantly, when a punch is landed, with the follow up, there is no chance to recover like a knockdown in boxing
That;s all good and well, but it is resulting in way too many upsets
Fighters are the top are all very skilled nowadays, there are no muppets
Anyone can land that one strike
Imagine if tennis matches were won by one great point won by the lesser player or one touchdown in the NFL or one basket in the NBA
I don't mind upsets in sport, its good for the sport but in MMA there are too many and they just do not feel earned
If someone outside the Top 10 beats Federer or Murray in a grand slam over 5 sets they have definitely earnt it
