My 5 Cents

Chandler Stoppage

We have to talk to about the NYSAC. They are horrible. Maybe it was just Todd Anderson but there are no “Time Outs” in fighting.  You can't do it in real life and you can’t do it in the cage. If you wanna stop the fight. The fight is over.  It wasn’t a cut for the doctor to check.  The only person to stop that fight would be the fighter himself or their corner.  The foot wasn’t broken, he had nerve damage. He wanted to continue.  We all knew he was hurt but at that point only him and his corner should have been able to stop that fight.

Mario Yamasaki stoppage Chiesa vs Lee





How many times does this guy have to fuck up before you stop hiring him. Watch the early stoppage here. The Stoppage Did Chiesa tap? Nope. Was he going to go out. Probably. But he was still in the fight when he stopped it. The question is, are these athletic commissions keeping track of these Refs decision records. Yamasaki is either going to let you die in the ring or stop the fight because you slipped on the Monster logo. Did anyone see Matthew Lopez stoppage https://streamable.com/hen8a Jesus fucking Christ. I counted like 25 shots to a guy who wasn’t conscious. Hey Mario, if you yell at a fighter to intelligent defend himself and he doesn’t do anything. HE”S UNCONSCIOUS STOP THE FIGHT!! Yamasaki is the worst. Ariel Helwani hit it on the nose what you are seeing is a ref who is not confident. He is over thinking his decisions and its cost fighters their health or their career.





BJ Penn

Please retire! Please retire.  If BJ Penn fights again I think we need to setup a gofundme page for another hobby.  Go compete in EBI, no one wants to see you fight again.  It's like a train wreck.  Not really I’d watch that.  It's just hard to watch.
