You're a dirty, rotten cagefighter with all sorts of crazy opinions. Thank you for providing me with so much entertainment.
First person to lay it all out perfectly, sick of people saying wahhh what those coaches did was outrageous
I agree with the corner.
Your fighter says they wanna quit in a title bout?
I can guarantee he heard her say the in practice and sparring before.
The corner should protect the fighter from themselves; even if that means protect them from not giving 100%
Raquel Pennington doesn't seem like the type to give up easily and get down on herself before the fight is over. So when I heard her go to the corner and tell them "I'm done", I knew right away this fight was over.
nunes' performance made up for her fight against shevchenko
hi chael it me
I don't get it at all, everyonoe is concentrating on bashing the cornerman when in reality if Pennington thinks she's done, it's HER fault for going back out there, her corner did not force her to listen, she could have just walked out of that cage
I agree with Chael. Raquel herself said her corner did the right thing, and her opinion is the one that matters here. You can't demonize a corner for trying to talk their fighter off the ledge the way they did. Pennington could have just tapped at the start of the 5th rd, but she didn't. She took her corner's advice, it just wasn't her night.
I agree with you completely chael. 100 percent on this one. a very fair minded take on the whole matter.
The problem I have is that he offered her no advice at all. She was already beat, what good is it to tell her to give it her all? She already did and lost 4 straight rounds. If you can't put together two words on how she is going to win don't throw her back in
