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...

UFC London Preview: Arnold Allen vs Dan Hooker

 We're only a few days away from a Fight Night event in front of a legitimate crowd outside of the apex, which feels weird to say, but its exciting. This card figures to be really interesting from start to finish as basically every fight on the card has some point of intrigue. What I think we have missed from these Fight Night events, besides the fan energy of course, is the themed events. The crowds are usually great because the location of the card usually dictates a lot of the fights. The UFC will try to put as many hometown fighters on the card as possible and that is what we see here. The UK fans will be behind all of their fighters and to see them get their moment in front of their home fans is something I am looking forward to quite a bit. The co-main event sets up to be maybe the best fight of the entire event and that is between Arnold Allen and Dan Hooker. This sets up to be Hooker's return to featherweight after a run at lightweight, which has drawn the concern of so...

UFC 268 Fallout: Rose Namajunas Retains her Title, What's Next for her and Zhang Weili?

The UFC 268 co-main event pitted incumbent women's strawweight champion "Thug" Rose Namajunas against former champion "Magnum" Zhang Weili in an immediate rematch of their fight at UFC 261 this past April. The lead up to that fight was preparing everyone for a 5 round battle that would be determined by a razor thin decision. Despite all of that, Weili entered that fight as a roughly 2 to 1 favorite. All of that went out the window 1:18 into the fight when Rose landed a left high kick and followed up with a few hammer fists on the ground to capture the title for the second time in her career. The finish coming so early was shocking enough that the UFC booked the immediate rematch, which we witnessed this past weekend. Ultimately, we got the fight that everyone expected the first time around, which ended with a split decision victory in favor of Rose Namajunas. Like most people, I am a fan of Rose, so of course I was happy to see her get the nod, but I honestly di...
