I agree that MMA allows too many punches, but it is better than what happens in boxing. One solid punch in an MMA fight usually ends it. The refs should be faster at getting there, but that's better than people who get to beat to a twilight in boxing, but never quite get knocked out.

The fans get pissy when they end the fight “too early”. Just look at the comments after Pereira VS Prochazka. Some fighters do come back up after a beating and have an amazing resilience (to their long term health detriment)

If this wasn't the case, the entire Rocky franchise wouldn't have a premise.
