About Me

 Hi. Welcome to The Doctor's Stoppage MMA Blog. I started this quite a few years ago now and fell off after deciding to go to grad school. Now that I am finished, I would like to maintain this site consistently with content throughout the week. I have been a fan of MMA for a long time and enjoy expressing my thoughts and opinions on the sport in a creative way. Please leave feedback on anything and everything including my writing and the content itself.

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...

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 ...

UFC 288 Full Card Picks and Betting Tips

 We're back and after a third really bad week in a row, I need to turn it around fast. Both the picks and the bets are suffering, but we have a PPV card to hopefully turn that around. PPVs haven't always been my strongest showings, but we'll make this an exception. We have the return of Henry Cejudo and he's not really a guy that I've had a chance to talk about very often since I started this. I have a love hate with CCC like most people do. I have an incredible amount of respect for Henry and what he's accomplished in his career. He's really one of the best combat athletes we've ever seen and I feel he doesn't get enough recognition for it. However, Henry's gimmick really grinds my gears. The King of Cringe thing really gets on my nerves and is probably the main reason I don't really call myself a Henry fan. That and seeing him beat Dominick Cruz hurts a lot. Anyways, this isn't the best PPV card you'll ever see, but it is certainly ...
