Did Kim Winslow take too long to stop the Cyborg vs. Cuddles Finney Fight?
I know that a lot of people think the fight between Cyborg and Cuddles should have been stopped sooner, and many of them are saying it’s not because it was a girl fight. Very noble, however, I think that’s exactly what the problem is, and why people are in an uproar. In my opinion, the ref did fine actually! I was cringing at times during this fight myself, but then I cringe when a man gets pummeled. If you look at some of the male fights out there, there are plenty of times when one fighter pummels the other, but the fight’s not stopped until the conditions call for it. The MMA Unified Rules of Conduct make it pretty clear that the fight goes on: if they defend themselves, which Jan did; if they don’t tap, which Jan didn’t; and if they’re coherent, which Jan was. Pretty much the fight goes on until one of those things happens, or the ref calls it…which Kim Winslow finally did.
