In MMA, if you go limp or take an unanswered shot like that without any attempt at defending yourself, it’s a stoppage. Read more

Ummm, which Brock Lesnar are you talking about? The win in his last fight was overturned to a no contest and his last two fights before that were losses. In other words, like Rousey, his last two fights were losses, and he was dominated just about as badly as she was in them. Read more
