What is that you might ask - If you get KO'ed, something that makes you lose in any other combat sport, your corner gets 2mins to wake you back up so you can fight again. But only once a fight, and not in the 5th, which I assume is the last round Saw some short clip on YouTube of JR talking to one of the fighters about it, and that's how I found out about it. Here are some fights - Watch at your own discretion, of course - https://youtu.be/QGgwDstFlzE https://youtu.be/CLRHsYvHHgE https://youtu.be/jkRM2tf2RYo And here's some KOs - https://youtu.be/tO7uwlExo14 --- https://i.imgtc.com/hQ5SuG6.gif https://i.imgtc.com/QrhAq36.gif https://i.imgtc.com/Yjov9DU.gif <cite>Bad_Mojo posted [p:967715197] in I just fou...

Sport isnt about brutality. --- It all returns to nothing It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. (NGE) <cite>CreekCo posted [p:967715269] in I just fou...
