I mean before we get all pie in the sky they should consider better enforcement and more clarification of the rules that already exist around stopping fights, and encouraging refs to be more liberal with ending fights like Max/Kattar. poo poo like Smith/Texeira and Yan/Aldo are perfect examples too.

There also needs to be bottom up change regarding the culture of these things, particularly around corners throwing in the towel which is all but taboo right now. Unfortunately given the types of personalities involved in general, I just don't really see it happening any time soon. Many fans and even fighters would have been pissed if, for example, the Holloway/Kattar fight had been stopped at some point. I don't see much changing until that changes.

I would have not been upset had the fight been stopped in the 3rd minute of round 4 (it might have been rd3). There was a moment with around 2:20 left in the round that Kattar wobbled and rocked, and was only supported by the fence while eating shitloads of shots that were answered only by wild haymakers. A stoppage was 100% justified there. I was yelling at the screen. The rest was just him being beaten up, and it seemed like Max took his foot off of the gas in the 5th a bit just out of mercy.

There's a bit of an absurd dichotomy where the standard for "intelligent defense" is totally different if a guy is mounted vs. on their feet. On one hand I get it cause being mounted is way worse, but the other ineffectually covering up while eating shot after shot isn't any better just cause you're badly circling with your back on the cage.

I'm still baffled by how Hooker was fighting but I am way too fuckin' jazzed about Poirier to be mad.

Yeah he looked like poo poo. Seriously compare and contrast:
