MVP is the real deal but his last fight had me absolutely heated.

MMA corners continue to be trash. Why would you send dude out there like that
Recently read that if the corner stops the fight, the fighter loses half their purse. Makes it a lot harder to stop a fight.
That can't be an athletic commission rule. Are you saying that's a UFC policy? If that was true that'd be ******* pathetic, making corners choose between their fighters health and a check. I can't see that being a real thing.
Been thinking a lot about the Cerrone-Masvidal fight. Wonder if corners would be more inclined to end fights if full purse was guaranteed...

Not to say they'd do it carelessly/prematurely but I sense there's often a hesitation cause much more than W/L is at stake. Half the purse. https://t.co/eH3DOl9we3

And not suggesting corners don't care for their fighters well being. On the contrary. But very tough spot b/c significant money is at stake. https://t.co/jHv3W6Ii26

Also, I'm not criticizing Cowboy's corner. They know him better than me. It just got me thinking in light of Mitrione/Bader recent comments. https://t.co/Hn1VKgM1HI

Read it off of Ariel's twitter. Didn't mention whether it was a commission thing, but I highly doubt it.
