    When a ref is constantly shoving one fighter back needlessly on the break, I tend to think he might be biased. That stoppage looked like a bad excuse to save Stevens. Not saying Stevens wouldn't have finished him, but the guy had taken big combos earlier in the fight and recovered quickly. This time it was stopped while he was leaning into Stevens to try to clear his head. e was definitely defending himself and I think it should have gone on.

    The other fight was the sort of heavyweight fight we need more of. Cunningham showed a lot of everything and he should be right back in the mix against the winner of Perez vs. Jennings imo.

    I don't remember the exact details, they explained on the broadcast. Harrowing stuff.

    Whatever her condition, she is basically hurtling toward certain heart failure. There is a preventative surgery they could do but where she is so little and frail the docs have pretty much ruled it out and said it would kill her.

    They're in a position where there is virtually no hope from a medical standpoint just waiting for the end but with no way of knowing just when, only that it will be soon.

    Basically she has a 2 chambered heart. The location of the blood vessels leading to and from her heart make it a very high risk that she would not survive a transplant. I have a friend whose daughter has a similar problem, but not the problem with the location of the blood vessels that USS's daughter has. Hopefully they find a solution before time runs out.
