are MMA judges unable to take points without stopping the action and separating the fighters?? that seems like such a stupid rule if true. the ref should be able to just take a point for a foul right away, all the judges have to do is see it

Virna never been koed (she's a monster) even against Rodriguez. It is not really that big of a threat for Virna. She already has a plan,as always!
