    Corner man is a riot here, imagine he went back out and took a severe beating or worse.

    Would honestly ban the cornerman from cornering any future UFC fights.

    * Liberty when a fighters saying to call it about 10 times and he’s still trying to send him back out.

    There’s a lot of fighters backing the cornermen and having a go at Helwani.

    Sonnen has it spot on. Not fighter wants to utter those words that they are done. Once they say that there’s no amount of pushing that’s going to bring them back.

    I get the cornermen want to see their fighter succeed but there’s a line. If he’s still saying no once he’s off the stool then stop the fight and back his decision.

    Fighters using the old “you’ve never been in a fight” patter. The cornermen might be ex fighters but they aren’t the ones putting their health on the line at that moment.

    If a fighter has mentally got to the point of calling it, he should be pulled immediately. There shouldn’t even be a debate.

    I have drifted away from watching all types of sports lately.

    When I coached the young squads- (edit-meaning football)always told them " if you're feeling tired - tell me and I will get you a rest "

    I could not believe what I seen today watching that .

    Masvidal said he would step in on 1 weeks notice, he'll get his big payday if he does as well. Other option is Colby for a rematch. Reckon Usman would beat either pretty comfortably

    Masvidal stepping in is huge. Love that.

    I * love Masvidal, no matter what you think of the guy he’s a warrior. But Usman absolutely destroys him imo.

    Fair play to Masvidal but I don’t see it being close.

    Unless Masvidal gets one of his KO’s then it’s going to be a long night for him IMO.

    * love Masvidal. I actually took a shine to Usman after the Colby fight but Masvidal all the way, what a guy.
