Given what's happened recently regarding Nick Blackwell I can't help thinking the world of MMA will need to look at their sport. I love MMA but I do feel that fights are often allowed to go on far too long when one fighter is clearly not defending himself effectively and some of the punishment to the head allowed is excessive IMHO.
Yes l quite agree as some fights are going on far longer then they should and the big one that springs to mind quite a few years ago that should have stopped rounds before was when Nigel Benn fought Gerald McClellan and l don't think things have been tightened up that much since in my opinion.
