I thought it was a pretty damn good article myself.
It's a fair point but does he really think that no one involved in MMA is aware of it? Most refs and corners don't want to see anyone take more of a beating than they have to, but what's the solution? Fighters don't want to be stopped, fans and promoters don't want to see stoppages, and everyone's aware on some level that being punched in the head is bad for you.
