  1. kinda irrelevant whats said the day after/what the eventual outcome was. Right then and there it was the wrong call i think, whether she goes out and wins rd 5 or gets killed.

  2. It is simple, if after they tried to convince her to go back out there, she came back with "I am done, I don't want to go back out", then I say you can blame the corner if the fight wasnt stopped. But what happened was, they convinced her to dig deep and at least give it a try.

  3. When a fighter has a defeated mindset, they are in a position to get seriously hurt. She wanted to quit because she knew she couldn't defend herself. That's a life threatening situation to be in. The coach should have called it a night.

  4. Hewas really niceashe sent him to his death sogive him a break judge. Hahaha see how that works out for you Chael?

  5. Had she said "I'm done" to the Ref the fight would have been over instantly. For fighters in the future if you actually want out….tell the Ref.
