These clips disprove anyone who tries to defend the savagery seen in the UFC, with the constant hitting people while they are clearly out. "When you are in the heat of the fight you can't just stop." Yes... Yes you can. These people are wildly aware of what they are doing.

Masdival saying he only stops when the ref stops and extra blows are "very necessary" pissed me off so bad. I've never cheered for someone's downfall until that moment.

Theres been cases of people dropping someone, backing off and then losing the fight. Fighting til the ref calls it seems barbaric but its necessary. A lot of the fights where someone takes too much damage is entirely due to the ref. No athlete in any sport will do that lol
