Have to wonder would these fighters stop in these cases if they didn’t feel like they would get a win from it. Obvious answer is no so they are capable of continuing. It’s easy to say the kick is illegal but when someone’s mid fight and about to throw a kick it’s hard to stop. A no contest is better than a DQ because it encourages people to look for that way out

@Idrownfish

In a giant arena like MSG with 20,000+ in attendance that are vocally into it, you honestly think they can hear the ref? 

Edit: Don't know why I wrote plus twice. lol

That inside leg kick from Duffy was smart.  As long as he can continue to chop at the base, he should be good.

I don't agree with the stoppage. Duffy was going to get Vick in his guard one second from that.
