UFC: Sean McCorkle Afraid for Joe Warren

[Arrow1]

I did not get a chance to see the Curran/Warren fight the other night because they were on right before me, but Warren did not look in good shape at all backstage after the fight. I'm not one to have my stomach easily turned either, but I was genuinely afraid for him when he passed by as they were practically carrying him. I keep hearing it was a late stoppage, and then that it wasn't, back and forth. Either way, I genuinely hope that he is OK. That's a scary thing to see.


Warren after ref Malott finally stepped in
It's not a stretch to say that Warren's career may have been prematurely ended by an incompetent referee on Friday night. I don't have any kind of confirmation on Warren's current condition, but I know he's out of the hospital.

He almost certainly suffered at least one concussion and possibly two, and that's the kind of thing that will make a 35 year old man think long and hard before stepping back in the cage for a fight.

That fight made me so much more interested in UFC.

It was a Bellator fight, not a UFC fight. That is scary to hear about though.

Concussions are serious business. I'm with Dolph that isn't something you ever want to hear.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

If anyone hasn't seen it. It was clearly a late stoppage.

 

[seabs]

That was beyond late tbh, I'm all for letting them brawl but he couldn't even defend himself. He was just flinging his arms about.

 

[Arrow1]

Yeah, it was a brutal fight. While some might be disapointed in the refs late calling, I actually, from a fan point of view, enjoyed watching the beatdown... I do feel sorry for the guy though.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

It's horrible for the sport. It gives the people who paint it as human cockfighting a leg to stand on. It should never, ever, ever, ever happen. That ref should be fired.

If anyone hasn't seen it. It was clearly a late stoppage.

WTF. Why isn't that ref fired? That's grim.
