However, this doesn't happen so often, as MMA is a sport of multiple strategies rather than sheer bludgeoning. The vast majority of the time a fighter goes down to the ground, he is still conscious and able to fight. That's why the fights continue on, sometimes for several minutes.

I'm going to give up as this is like banging my head against a brick wall. You get presented with facts and just change your course of excuse, now it doesn't matter because Mercer was too old, next thing you know it's going to be that he had a Hemorrhoid or something. You can keep you narrow view of MMA and keep thinking boxing proves the ultimate man, it's been made quite apparent here that you don't have the knowledge of MMA to bad mouth the athletes.
