The corner should be stopping this, Murphy is completely outclassed and they're basically sending her back in purely hoping for a complete miracle flash-KO or Andrade slips on a banana peel and gets submitted.

We need boxing refs that say "Show me something in the next exchange or I'm calling it" and then actually do that when the fighter doesn't show anything

Commentators straight up screaming,"STOP THE FIGHT!" now.

The earlier fight where the ref was shouting,"FIGHT BACK!" and the guy would weakly flail his arm a couple of times before going back to getting pummeled in the head until the ref shouted,"FIGHT BACK!" again was particularly egregious.

"Tough as they come" is often synonymous with "Too tough for their own damned good".

Crazy that Nick Diaz is a better corner man than most of these professional gyms.

Because Andrade keeps switching between 115 and 125

The egregious thing imo was she didnt say a single word between round 2 and 3, her corner made 0 effort to get her to engage or figure out if she was ok

the reason you dont see a lot of 30-24s is usually a competent referee will stop such a lopsided fight before it gets to that point

Pretty sure there's been more 30-24s than corner stoppages

Jessica Andrade came back to strawweight, won, had a clear claim to contendership, went up to flyweight instead, won, and used her top flyweight contendership victory to call for a strawweight title shot.

Nothing much, watching the game, drinking a bud
Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes had a 30-24, and to everyone who hasn't seen it, turn off 283 and watch it immediately.

Burns vs Covington would actually be a decent fight to make. Good on Gilbert for making a decent non-generic callout

I would like to see Neil Magny fight, like, Li Jingliang or Rinat Fakhretdinov or Philip Rowe or something next. It's time to test prospects, not contenders.

The way of the UFC is just to have the same couple guys in every class fight over and over again until there’s nothing else interesting to watch. See, for example, this.
