Didn't watch the video but the chick in the thumbnail wasn't allowed to quit. If she did, I would have made $160. Her coaches suck.

BJ was the most high-profile and most memorable to me. Overall, MMA has a problem of a macho mentality that views stopping the fight as dishonorable. This leads to the Raquel Pennington situation and others like it. For all of its flaws, I feel boxing does a better hob of putting the fighter’s health and career first, ahead of appearances and ideals.
Did it change when the first person died in a high level boxing fight? Same might happen in MMA eventually. If someone died in the UFC, it would drastically change the culture in the sport.

Not gonna watch the video but I'm sure Chris Leban is in there. He stood out to me because I always was rooting for him. Had moments of brilliance in his career like when he subbed sexyama. I remember when Hall dropped him and he barely survived and I was thinking, "There we go! Time for Leban to come back swinging this round!" like he always did but he said, "I'm fuckin done." and retired.
