About Me

 Hi. Welcome to The Doctor's Stoppage MMA Blog. First off, I am not a doctor or medical professional of any form, just a fan who tried to come up with a fun name. I am only a college student and am looking for a fun and creative way to be involved in the sport of MMA and hope that people will read and comment on what I have to say. I have been watching MMA (mostly UFC) for awhile, but definitely wouldn't have called myself a hardcore fan until much more recently (within the last handful of years). Hope you enjoy my posts and encourage comments on both the content and my writing.

UFC Vegas 51 Preview: Vicente Luque vs Belal Muhammad II

 It isn't normal that I don't talk about this weekends card until the Friday post, but this is one of those situations. This weekends UFC event lacks the name value outside of few fighters beyond the main event, but I still think it should be a decent card. While none of the prelims or basically any fight beyond Luque vs Muhammad will have any major impact on a division, the fights should still be relatively competitive. In my opinion, a good fight is when both competitors are at the same relative level of ability. Of course, it is a lot more fun when the opponents are ranked or are fighting in a title eliminator or something like that, but that doesn't mean we can't get good, solid, fun competition outside of the rankings. I think this card will have a decent bit of that. Honestly, the Bellator card on Friday (the day this comes out, but I'm typing on Thursday) should be just as good. AJ McKee vs Patricio Pitbull was as excited as I had ever been for a Bellator car...

Dana White Slaps Wife in Public

 I don't really think I have to say it, but I'm not and have never considered myself a real journalist. I've never claimed to be and likely never will. However, the failure of a lot of real journalists have put me in a strange spot. No one reads this blog or comes to me for the hard hitting news, but those that we do go to in these situations have dropped the ball in my opinion, so I feel like I have to do my part, regardless of how small that may be. I think the video dropped about a week ago now where we saw cell phone video of Dana White and his wife, Anne, trading slaps in a bar/club. This story has gone on a bit of a roller coaster ride in terms of media attention as it was put on the back burner after the horrible situation on Monday Night Football with Damar Hamlin. Luckily, Damar's condition has been improving and we even have a screenshot of him smiling on a facetime call now. That has allowed us to return to a sense of normalcy and get back to this story. It...

Was Deontay Wilder's Legacy on the Line?

 If you didn't read yesterday's post about Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez, then you missed that I said my gap in posts was due to midterms and then I took this past weekend to recover, but I will be back to posting regularly now. I know this fight was a few weekends ago and I also said that I wouldn't likely be commenting on it but here we are. I'm not here to talk down on Deontay Wilder as some have done and if you are someone who reads my posts, you know I am not a fight analyst type. I have been open in saying that I don't like boxing as much as MMA nor do I know as much about the sport itself or the fighters. However, what I wanted to comment on was largely a talking point of the broadcast in the lead up to the fight. At least for the American broadcast, they kept mentioning that this fight had a lot to say about Deontay Wilder's legacy and that if he were to lose then they seemed to imply that we would only remember Wilder as the guy who lost to Tyson ...
