They both got headbutt. He absolutely didnt have to continue. It was the theatrics. I don't know how you can't see what he did. It was the most blatant attempt at looking like a warrior but wanting out I have ever seen.

He didn't want anymore. Either take your time and fight or don't. Everything inbetween was for show. I don't fault him for wanting out. I fault him for PRETENDING he didn't want out.
It's a bleeding, sweaty eye. It is not an easy call to make within 3 minutes. You don't want to fight in a compromised state, and it is not just not seeing, it's having your eye irritated for the duration of the fight.

I can empathise, sucks for him.
 
No that's not how it works. Half way into the third round goes to a technical decision

I'm not sure i'm going by old rules and I don't even have confidence in what I thought those were, but iirc it at least used to be if the fight starts the 3rd round it gets scored even if it's seconds in. For example I remember OSP beat Gian Villante by technical dec 33 seconds into the 3rd round after a thumb in the eye with the judges giving OSP the 3rd round for a majority decision which was absolute bullshit for the insanely gassed OSP.
 
I put money on Aldana via KO or Sub cause the odds were too good

Does she actually have a chance? Nune looked burnt out her last 2 fights

I sympathize but it looked like he was really playing that up to be worse than it was. I've seen fighters continue on worse. I don't think his heart was in it to continue. The sudden drop to the knees. The aggressive grinding of the towel into the cut.. Why?
 
Why do they alwasy run advertising for the PPV during the PPV? To be seeing this shit you've either already paid for it or are streaming it

Nunes has weird training situation going on. She left ATT but kept some of the ATT coaches. She is running her own camp. I am not sure that is the smartest thing to do.
