  1. Priscila Cachoeira said Mario Yamasaki did the right thing by not stopping her fight earlier.

    Fighters want to fight and they are proud. They are also, as it turns out, loyal. Saying 'well she said this so case closed' is way too simplistic. Bad analysis on your part.

  2. What annoys me most is the coach said, "*We'll* recover later." No, dude, Rocky's going to be the one who has to recover. He wasn't the one getting his leg kicked out from under him and his nose busted and re-busted open.

  3. If she wanted to quit she just had to tell the ref. The coach is there to stop the fight when the fighter is too out of it to do it himself. She's a big girl. At the end of the day you have to look out for yourself.

  4. She not a knock out artist or submission expert if so I would agree she lost all 4 round what was she gone do to win

  5. Under no circumstance should a fighter just give up in a championship fight unless they're seriously injured. Absolutely heartless.

  6. Nah man… this isn’t even a discussion. She lost all 4 rounds… and once you admit defeat your will is broken. All they did was make her go out there and take unnecessary damage. It’s ridiculous that so many people are debating this.

  7. She has no problem with the decision, and they probably know her better, good for her she continued. It’s a fight, not a sport, it’s not good for your health to begin with, so quit bitching … And it was her shot at the title, she would probably hate herself if she didn’t continue

  8. Ufc made the biggest mistake in ufc history giving ronda a monster named Amanda nunes after she lost in the fashion she did against holm. You have to get her confidence back, her mojo, they should have gave her 2 easy opponents then you go with nunes. Ronda was broken but I like my chances with a confident ronda against any woman
