Today the commission in Brazil decided to overturn the referee’s stoppage in Silva vs Dober fight. Â On the surface this seems to be a great thing. Â But as the day has progressed I’ve started to see other things come out of it. Â Specifically other fighters lobbying to have other commissions do the same thing in their fights. Â I’ve seen fights overturned for many reasons, drugs, illegal blows, but never due to a referee’s decision. Â This is an issue that has played out in football and baseball in the last decade, but should this be something we allow to happen in MMA? Â Should we take the decisions to stop a fight out of the ref’s hands? Â And what else could come of it if we do.
