This past Friday, RFA held its 14th card in Wyoming, and in the AXS TV-televised flyweight title bout between Matt Manzanares and Junior Maranhao , the viewing audience witnessed something I hope to never see again. For the last 40 seconds of the fourth round, Maranhao struggled while trapped in a triangle-choke attempt. After the conclusion of round, Maranhao lost consciousness , collapsed from his stool and lay motionless, face down, for several seconds until aroused by his corner mates. Without thoroughly examining the fighter, the ringside physician asked his cornermen if their fighter was fit to continue and allowed the bout to continue as if nothing happened. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
