Tell me you’ve never sparred a day in your life without telling me you’ve never sparred a day in your life. Or played any competitive sports for that matter.

Anyone that does a bit of sparring knows how to control themselves it’s really not that hard.

This isn’t the only sport that encourages playing “until through whistle” (ref touching you) and even then players/fighters sometimes lose control and hit a guy after the whistle. Not on purpose but because it is * *very** difficult to just stop a punch mid throw, or stop your body moving full speed once you commit to a direction.

Regarding this fight in particular. There were 3 whole seconds between the KO and the follow up, AND HIS EYES WERE OPEN for most of it.

Now I’m sure your year of strip-mall karate totally trained you to stop on a dime though, and you would never stoop so low in this instance. Fuck all those professionals who just can’t help themselves in similar situations. Since it’s *”not that hard” * you should talk to the UFC and have Dana get you a training gig at the performance center.
