MMA fighter quits so opponent dont get beat up

[Los Zetas]

Completely agree with you guys. Obviously the kid is a decent human being, but he needs to choose another sport. Killer instinct is vital in the combat sports. Anything less can get you hurt or killed. In this case, he just forfeited the fight. But, then, what's the point of competing?

Well I agree, but they aint getting paid.

He explained that both are amateurs and don't get paid.


If it was his pro career, then fair enough.

In a free fight, there is no need to punch someone until they are ****ed up. Medical bills aren't cheap and hurting someone for free, to a point they may end up in a wheel chair if you hit them the wrong way is bad. Remember MMA gloves are 4 ounces.

Exactly. I meant to point that out earlier. It's not like the only way to win would've been to maim/kill his opponent. Instead the kid chose to forfeit. Maybe he's just ******. There's always that. lol

They are amateurs with no pay, maybe he didn't have the skills to submit...

they way i see it, it's like a sparring session.

both aren't getting paid, and u learn things.

if u ever spar a guy who u outmatch and go all in for the ko, then maybe you are doing it your way, but it aint my way. martial arts has a lot of respect in it.

i can tell you from my experience, go to a mma gym, u have guys who are more respectful than a boxing gym.

but when u're fighting in the lower ranks like this guy is u're suppose to put on a good show so u can move up to bigger and better revenue. i mean whats the point of fighting if he doesnt wanna hurt his opponent or finish the fight?

Reminds of that old saying which goes something like "don't show your enemy foolish mercy". Combat sports are definitely a place where kindness is a weakness.

You guys are ridiculous, they weren't pros, it's a sport. How do you know they want to do this for a living? They aren't getting paid and it wouldn't affect their future, if there was millions of dollars on the line he wouldn't have stopped, I'm sure. He's a good guy, sportsmanship is first.

I woulda just tried to get a rear naked choke and put him to sleep.

Its a tough one this, to challenge ones moral decision in benefit to a completely out his depths opponent or go with the "this a combat sport, the loser quits" choice is hard.

I personally will say regardless of it being in the amateurs he should have rethink about his dedication to the sport, how many people would have done the same for him? a big fat zero unfortunately.

It's a nice gesture but this sport is brutal, and for that reason you either have it or you don't when it comes to being a top fighter, and finishing your foe is the 90% of the aim when you enter a ring.

Lmao, dude was doing some little kid karate type ish.

Good post. I completely agree. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather have done this. I remember Mayweather did this to Cotto, in I think round 11, he hurt Cotto really bad with an uppercut I think and instead of jumping on Cotto he just backed off completely and let him recover. I can't remember which opponent it was for Pacquiao but it was a complete blowout and Pac kept looking back at the ref as if to tell him to stop the fight... I think it might have been Cotto too..

Lol, this post is funny as hell, Cotto is such a *****
