Mark Hunt took an absolute beating from Stipe Miocic at UFC Fight Night 65 but he didn’t give up and the ref had to step in to stop the match in the 5th round.
Between the 4th and 5th rounds Hunt had both eyes swollen shut but still went out to compete.
Safety definitely has to come into play when we situations like this tho. His corner or the referee should’ve stepped in to stop Hunt from himself. We all know fighters don’t quit until they are physically unable to compete.
Hopefully Dana White addresses this issue moving forward.
