Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Roxanne Modafferi vs Maycee Barber

Here's the match video of Roxanne Modafferi vs Maycee Barber from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. I watched round one of this fight again to see if I could tell when Maycee hurt her knee. You'll notice that she grabs her left knee right after the takedown. The rest of the round was on the ground so it wasn't detected. But at the start of round two, Roxanne dropped Maycee with a punch. But her left knee actually buckled. The punch was nothing. So Maycee knew she was hurt. And more importantly, so did her coach Duke Roufus. Between round two and three, ref Jason Herzog brought a doctor in to examine Maycee. Of course it should have been stopped then. It's part of the doctor's job and the coach's job to protect fighters from themselves. They both failed. There was no good reason for Maycee to continue. My guess is Maycee will need surgery. We probably won't see her for a while. It's too bad because she has potential. The only interesting thing is anyone who bet on Roxy made a lot of money because she was a heavy underdog. But that's the fight game. Shit happens. I just think the fight should have been stopped. Check out the video for yourself.
