I heard about this. They revived him for the fifth round and he lost a decision. Imagine if he had died? Jesus!

It's bad enough the cornermen tried to revive him and were happy for him to carry on, the ref or doctor should have stepped in. Disgraceful.

Brent Brookhouse said on BE that everyone involved (cornermen, ref, doctors) should have their licenses revoked & I completely agree. This is the sort of thing that could lead to someone dying in the cage.

^^^^ I 100% agree, everyone should be looked at including ed soares. This is total BS I hope Axs has the balls to say something, and his conner men. This has to be number one in WTF moments in MMA. Even Cecil would have called this fight.

I was watching that. Pat and the Voice said the Dr. looked at the fighter and told the coach "Whats wrong with your boy" The Dr never even looked at him. I believe those fights took place in Wyoming. Was this run by their commision or on an Indian reservation? Either way, this should be addressed

Even Kim Winslow would have made the right call in this one.

You only get to die one time. If a fighter collapses, the doctor, ref, cornermen have to call off the fight. They were all grossly negligent. I love this sport, but good lord sh!t like this has to stop. Use some f--ing common sense.

I saw the gif and was like wow he must have barely made it out the round and thought that the fight was over. Now I'm hearing that the fight continued. Disgusting, the doctors and the refs f---ed up big time.

I agree on everything except the Ed Soares thing. What could he have possibly done? He can't call a fight. Also it's not his job. That's what the doctors are there for, that's what the ref is there for, that's what his corner is there for.

Apparently the doctor came in & asked his corner if he was alright, and they said yes. Doctor didn't even take a look at him.

The doctor should never be allowed to be a ringside doctor ever again. Can't even check out the person he is supposed to be taking care of.
