    Why are there foreign vs foreign fighters? It should be an America vs the world type of thing.

    If the ref thinks you can not defend yourself they are suppose to wave it. It is a judgment call by ref but looking at replay he was done.

    It’s still absolutely mind blowing to me that Benn is paraded and advertised around events like some super elite boxer lol

    I don’t know, he didn’t look completely done to me. Maybe he could’ve wrestled to get out of that bad situation, but I don’t really know that fighter well, so maybe he was finished. I just wanted a more decisive ending.

    I’ve heard of Paramount of course but I don’t think it’s that big in the U.K, I certainly have never paid for it anyway, what would be our equivalent to the size of paramount in the US does anyone know just so I can understand the scale.

    I know their last deal was ESPN which I kind of had a better understanding of, is Paramount a crazy upgrade for the UFC?

    Benn doesn't even beat Barrios, let alone Garcia.
