A lot more criticism should fall on her whoever was working her corner to be fair.

 

[Ultra O’Dia]

love him!

 

[ChildoftheCorn]

I remember a guy at a local show in Broomfield, CO yelling "kill him" during every fight. That guy must love when Yamasaki refs.

From the statement:

"I also recognize I should have stopped it on the first tap of the rear-naked choke ..."

I aint mad. When did MMA fans turn into a bunch of snowflakes? She could have tapped any time. Her corner could have waved it off.
I'm sick of all the responsibility being laid on the ref. Fighters and coaches need to start taking responsibility for themselves.
Mario saved Chiesa from getting choked to death and he get's criticized. He lets this chick try and fight her way out of a bad position and he get's dragged for that too.

Fans are turning into cry babies.

As long he stops making that heart gesture, we’re cool.

 

[Willek]

Should have stopped Khabib/Barboza too apparently.

 

[Leonard Haid]

As long he stops making that heart gesture, we’re cool.

He stopped for a while, going instead with another love gesture - this one:


These gestures, Mario said, are meant for his wife, who is watching on TV I guess. He is saying I Love You to his wife.

But now he's back doing the heart gesture. Please tell me why it bothers you. Dana has spoken out against it to. I don't get the dislike.

WAR MARIO!!



Oh wait, I thought this was a vintage video game thread. Nevermind.

Really difficult to judge Mario when even the fighter is "supporting" his decision to let the fight continue.

 

[kerykda]

never change mario, wouldnt have much to talk about in the wme era of mma

Except when he stops fights early like Lee Chielsa. Mario is terribly inconsistent.

 

[UL]

he's a good guy

 

[quantiqus]

Nobody said that Ngannou vs Stipe should have been stopped in the 4th.

But everybody has a problem with Mario, although that girl moved. More exactly, in what second should he have stopped the fight?

Also, you have corners who can throw in the towel. And the fighter can always tap.

It was a good stoppage except for the first tap overlook. The stoppage came seconds after so not a big deal. Priscila was moving and trying to fight even in the disadvantegeous position. It is not Mario but the matchmaker who should be blamed for her unability to actually do anything in the fight. It was a mismatch. True is, there are hardly any girls in this division to give Valentina hard fight.
Plus to all those cryers, men and women should be treated equal, welcome to 21st century. Bleeding woman = bleeding man. And I've seen far worse in UFC that wasn't called a late stoppage here. Priscila showed heart, you sound just like a bunch of beta always friendzoned knights though.

...from her new wheelchair.

 

[Snolla]

Torn ACL, a massive ass beating, failure, and public embarrassment I feel bad for the girl.

The only thing more embarrassing is this

...from her new wheelchair.

Thankfully not from her new coffin.
