To fight injured, or to pull out of the fight? That's the age old question plaguing mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters and their coaches lately.
Perhaps no more so than coach of former UFC Middleweight champion Chris Weidman, Ray Longo, who not once considered throwing in the towel when his "All-American" pupil was getting manhandled by current 185-pound titleholder Luke Rockhold in the latter rounds of a UFC 194 pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event last December.
Little did spectators in attendance that night (Sat., Dec. 12, 2015), as well as the hundreds of thousands watching around the globe, know, Weidman marched onward into his fourth title defense at less than 100 percent.
