Fair enough, but shouldn't they have stopped this a wee bit earlier? It's not like he was going to defend himself in any way.

Lesson learned, stop being an internet tough guy or you will get your ass kicked by a pro.

it's not true that head kicks to a grounded opponent are illegal in MMA, or at least it wasn't when i was a relatively serious MMA watcher. they were legal in pride, for example. they're illegal in the UFC.
i'm really not sure on the legality of what he did, considering that it was a gym, and there's probably some kind of consent form being signed, the way you'd do with a sparring partner. our deontay wilder did this with zelenoff, if you recall. his manager wrote up a waiver form.
you can't just have a man sign a form and then kill him with elbows to the head. there's a threshold where this changes from a sport to a crime.
i have serious issues with the time taken for the "fight" to be stopped. somebody can get hurt or killed, particularly when a genuine professional fighter is fighting a novice.
a gym owner or coach should see himself first as a steward as the fighters under his charge. your job is to protect them from unnecessary harm, and they didn't do that.
i also think this josh neer guy, and i haven't been an MMA fan for years, looks like he's not a top flight fighter. a top flight fighter doesn't do this. wilder is a perfect example. now that he's paper champion of the world, and the conqueror of our bermaine, he'll never put hands on charlie Z again.

Maybe so. I don't follow MMA as a whole. But I know in ufc those kicks are illegal. But apparently this is under investigation and they are mentioning the "soccer kick" to the face. That's really the only thing that I saw wrong with it.

i thought it was an mma fight. mayhem miller was an mma fighter.
wrestling is the base for a lot of the styles you see in mma, particularly in the ufc where you cannot kick or knee a grounded opponent.
