I love Kerry Hatley, but the fact that Vidal calls for and receives a timeout for a punch to the chest is incorrect. Chris Tognoni handled the call perfectly when Vidal once again turned away asking for a timeout. It was a legal blow, you’re hurt and now can’t fight…… you lose

There are NO standing 8 counts under the unified rules of boxing. But if a fighter is hit by their opponent with a punch that puts them in a position where the ropes stop the fighter from hitting the canvas, the referee can consider the fighter down and a knock down can be

It’s with a heavy heart I say goodbye to Art Jimmerson Art was a wonderful person who for a short time was tormented by his time at UFC 1, but eventually he realized he was part of something special and that he was a huge part of the history of MMA. Art had a great sense of

Well I was asked about a double KO. This was a KO with an almost submitted Triangle choke. Carlos was unconscious, Matt was not. He was close to going out, but he was holding his own weight and blinking his eyes as I stopped the fight. If he was also out like Carlos, it would

No it wasn’t the last 10 seconds. It was his volume of work in the round and attempt to bring the fight to Onama . Onama near the end was not running from the fight but rather avoiding engagement due to fatigue. Smart on his part. It was a great fight and very close
