Do you approve? Do You not?

This is a gross display of officiation. The ref should be barred from ever refing an MMA bout ever again. This thing should have been over early in the first round. This is an example of how not to hold one of these fights (if you were to).

Now, I personally don't mind younger guys going into MMA but they should be required to follow a different set of rules.

1.6oz gloves instead of 4oz.
2.No striking to the head.
3.Headgear.
4.Minimum age of 14 anything under is just wrong. Children are fragile and are still developing.

ect ect...

How do you feel?
