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.

MMA Thanksgiving: Fight Addition

I really don't have enough to say about last weekend's main event to make an entire post about it or really the card as a whole, so I'm not going to waste your guys time. Since it is Thanksgiving this week in the United States, I figured I would do a series of posts of things we are thankful for in MMA. MMA is a sport where we complain a lot and there's a lot of things that need altered, fixed, or changed in some way, but we all still love it for what it is. In this series I'll go over the fight I'm thankful for, male and female fighter I'm thankful for, and I'll figure out some other things for later in the week. I'm going to keep this focused mostly on this year, but I'm not necessarily limiting myself to just this calendar year because I don't want to make it a yearly awards or anything like that because I'll do that in late December or early January. This addition of MMA Thanksgiving will focus on the fight that I'm most thankful ...

UFC 270 Fallout: What's Next for Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane?

 I'm writing this around midnight on Sunday and I'm still not really sure exactly what I saw a little less than 24 hours ago. In a time when we saw Amanda Nunes lose to Julianna Pena, I still found myself shocked and speechless at times watching last nights main event. If you're new around here, in these posts, I typically go over the performance for each guy and then sort of lay out what their next options are or could be. What will be a little different for returning readers is that I don't normally like to talk about the loser of the fight, especially a title fight first. However, given how complicated things are for Francis and how long his section will be, I want to put his last. Having a whole post about Francis and then throwing in one paragraph about Ciryl Gane at the end would seem a little odd. Let's just start it then. Ciryl Gane worked his way up as the favorite to defeat reigning champion Francis Ngannou in his first title defense. In only his 11th care...

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 ...
