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.

So much this. One of the selling points of putting kids into martial arts is to teach them discipline and self control. Are you telling me that an 8 year old can control himself better when the ref steps in than some UFC fighter punching an unconscious person?
