Re: Boxing/MMA

It's usually dependant on the ref but I think the recent death has shaken things up a bit. I doubt anyone wants to feel partly responsible. It's a no win situation. We've seen fights stopped absurdly early and then ones where the guys taken a bulldozer over his face. There's no middle ground without introducing a standing count which can't be done without removing ground offence. I've gone off it a bit since the McGregor fallout. It's getting a bit daft now, a major reason UFC built it's way to where it is was because it pushed top fighters against equals and didn't allow cherry picking. Now however it's ridiculous to see the cancellation of each headline event months or weeks beforehand with fighters pulling out at any point. It's becoming more frequent and annoying and Dana needs to sort it out. In fact I stand by Dana White needing to go. From McGregor to the Reebok deal to previously denying fighters opportunities in favour of a money match. (Sonnen vs Silva) the bloke has sold out.

Haye up at the weekend for his mandatory knock out win.
