not sure the UFC recognizes how lucky it's been to not have had a bad high profile brain/spine injury in the cage. a ref coming up with "well, technically" explanations for a chronic fouler dropping half a dozen elbows on the back of someone's head is going to age v badly one day
Generally speaking, MMA fans are petulant, fickle, weak, and angsty. I love this sport but a lot of other fans are hollow headed muslims, basement dwelling lard asses, or rage baiting children. It makes things interesting but it has to be frustrating for the fighters sometimes.
