Mma newbie here. Why are doctor stoppages seen as an underwhelming win?
So I’ve been following MMA since around about UFC 290. The Moicano BSD fight brought up something I still don’t understand. When Moicano won the fight by LITERALLY BLINDING his opponent, and the response is still “aw thats a let down of a way to end the fight.” If I was an MMA fighter, personally I’d see this as one of the most badass ways to win a fight?! From what I’ve seen, going blind is probably the second most common doctor stoppage just behind having an axe wound of a slice on your face, and that’s just as impressive imo. The way I see it, if you’re literally losing vision and your corner doesn’t throw in the towel: That is no different from not tapping during a choke and just allowing yourself to go unconscious. Of course its different if the rounds are scored 19-19 going into the final round, and one fighter happens to have incurred a nasty cut that isn’t reflective of how the fight has been going. submitted by /u/LawAndRugby [link] [comments]
