Congressman will aoon again argue if two people were to slug it out on the street they'd be arrested. However put those same to people in a ring, give them gloves and charge people to watch and it becomes a "sport". Perhaps it is time to put away these types of gladiatorial games. Will the UFC be around in next 5 years??
 
Sad story. Read an article on espn. The coach said he was thinking of throwing in the towel in the 9th. I wonder if those 2 rounds made a life and death difference.
 
Hey man guess what people have been getting hurt in combat sports for a long time stop being a reactionary douchebag k?

See that's one of the major problems coaches don't have the balls to protect their fighters anymore
 
Hmm I wonder if this will give Herb's "early" stoppage a different perspective.

If those same 2 people consent they can fight in the street it's not illegal

Reactionary doesn't mean that, it doesn't mean having knee-jerk reactions.

It means:
re·ac·tion·ar·y
/rēˈakSHəˌnerē/

adjective
  1. 1.
    (of a person or a set of views) opposing political or social liberalization or reform.
    "reactionary attitudes toward women's rights"
    synonyms: right-wing, conservative, rightist, ultra-conservative, ultra-right, alt-right;
 
Definitely warrants an investigation into his pre fight medical screening that’s for sure but this isn’t a new thing in boxing. There are also a lot of professions where people wind up dying every year, boxing just happens to make bigger headlines.

Logging has been the most dangerous job in America for a while now but it doesn’t make news headlines every time someone dies.
