Right, problem is Max is also a fighter... it turns out, DC has no say in this because he said himself he’s never felt like quitting, he always just was ready to get back out win or lose... Which means every fighter doesn’t have the same mentality or morals principles or whatever u wanna call it. The bottom line is, Max said he wanted out, but he wasn’t beaten to a pulp... if he was starting to get hurt Bad then it would be wrong if the corner didn’t throw in the towel, but for his corner not to try and push him woulda been wrong too... so if u ask me, nobody was at fault here, everything went the way it should have. Dude signed up for a fight, so he shoulda fought... 5 days notice and I’m done isn’t an excuse, he shouldn’t have taken the fight if he wasn’t in shape or prepared.otherwise, Why not quit after 30 seconds, especially if you realize you don’t stand a chance. Because that’s not how it works, you gotta get out there and try, and if you don’t then you gotta deal with the humility of having to have a loss along with a By way of “no mas” On your record

Ya, he saw everything his fighter did to prep on 5 days notice and cut weight, the years of training, etc. Especially since he has been there himself. He owes it to his fighter to take that minute before making a decision. I just wish there was a way the hecould have made the call without the world knowing that Max was tossing it in himself. Not because I think any less of him, but because of how Dana White, other fighters and many fans will. Given he took the challenge on 5 days and prob had next to nothing in the tank going in, I'd hope he'd have another shot. Dana gave mixed messages on it, he basically said right after the fight that the kid gave up so no, but then he also made comments in the post fight presser saying anyone that judges this kid, who took the short notice and stepped in there, should keep their mouths shut. So who knows.

The same logic can be used on everyone in here saying Ariel doesn’t have the credentials to comment on fighting because he’s never fought. Us commenting on Ariel shouldn’t be allowed to because we’ve never done his job at the level he’s doing it. If we say he can’t comment because he’s never fought in the UFC, then we can’t comment on him because we haven’t been reporting the sport for more than 10 years and we don’t have a show on ESPN like Ariel. 😂😂

You would hope that people getting into mma have the mindset and mental toughness to stick out the hard fights. This fight also showed that Max seems to not have been tested in his training

Max was exhausted in the second round and he couldn't bring up his hands to punch. He couldn't hit and kept getting hit hard. Max would be too tired and be a punching bag if he went out to fight in the third round. He could be very damaged and never fight again. I thought he was down 2 rounds. And even if it were 1 and 1, everything should be based on situation. Health comes first.

Its easier to judge with time to think about it. The coach had seconds to react. With time to think I would've told the lad just focus on getting your breath back and at the end of the break if you still can't continue we'll throw in the towel.

GSP tapped against Serra. It helped the longevity of his career. Helwani is making a great point.

What's the difference between saying you don't want to continue when you know you're just piling on damage and tapping out? As others have said, tapping out is just an admission that you know you lost and are ready to quit.

But it’s up to the corner to change the persons mind, because sometimes if you can make him believe he can do it... he will go out there and try, and might even get a second wind and do it... but if you can’t convince him, then he’s not gonna get off his stool either way.. and deal with the embarrassment later. So that next time, he doesn’t take a short notice fight if he’s not prepared.. you live you learn...

Why can’t i find the fight anywhere??

Good convo

YO DC......... You can say it bluntly bro..... Homeboy quit and it is not ok to quit... Hopefully for this kid he will learn from this, get back on the horse immediately and NEVER QUIT ever again...... His coaching was poor prior to fight because he was not prepared... His coach was correct in telling his fighter to push through... Fighters with 100 times the damage have finished fights....

If the fighter says he can't continue then he cant that's simple af .The fighter is mentally beat at this point and someone can't force him to continue.

Hmm, who to side with... the guy who has never competed at a high level in mma or the decorated world champion and coach?🤷🏻‍♂️

10:34 The look of disgust on Cormier face while looking at Ariel at that moment XD

I can't stand Helwani's views, always pulling out points that don't add up or don't properly relate to the issue and usually getting called on it too.

I see this comment section is - as always - chalked full of grizzled battle hardened warriors lending their wisdom to the issue of someone not willing to have their brains beaten in any further when clearly it wasn't his night. In reality we have a bunch of folks with Bavarian creme dripping down their collective chins as they condemn an actual cage fighter as a quitter. If you have actually followed the UFC for some time you will see many fighter 'quitting' on themselves by simply turned away and covering their head, allowing their opponent to wail on them until the ref steps in and hoping that process doesn't take too long...see any lopsided Mario Yamasaki match for a more detailed analysis. Me? In case your were wondering ... ...I'm no combat sport participant, never actually been in a 1 on 1 fight in my life...I've been severely beat down a few times but the circumstances were a bit different.

Max clearly won round 1. I dont care what anyone says. That's story about Max needing a push changes my whole perspective because I was outraged at first when I watched the fight live

jack daniels reading comp issues huh. Lol he was outraged at the coach I’m guessing. As I was. But it seems like the kid lives with the coach and the coach knows him way better than anyone there. Seems like he is the type of kid who needs a “push” and he wasn’t badly hurt per say ie: Smith/Furgeson. He just didn’t want to continue. So be it. But we are not as outraged as we were at the coach for not “calling it”. Does your casual mind comprende ? 😂🤷‍♂️

@@SaintsCheat - You should be praising that coach. No coach should quit for their fighter when they haven't voiced an issue that hampers them physically. Max didn't want to fight anymore and that is totally unacceptable in the middle of competition. Don't matter how short his notice was or the weight cut, you don't quit on a stool and then stick around to watch your opponent get his hands raised. The coach tried to save him by trying to push him beyond that mental barrier in his head. Max needed to be the one that quit himself and own the decision. No coach should bail out a quitter. It doesn't protect them in the future because it could easily happen again since they never had to deal with the shame. Max needed to face this demon on his own and confront it. Hopefully, he will be able to redeem himself and learn from it.

It’s usually the coaches’ job to motivate the fighter between rounds and push him beyond his limits. Although it is a tricky situation especially in a sport like this where losing means getting beat up and getting hurt. But I have seen fighters who came back after getting beat up and won the fight. And the coaches do know the fighters better than any of us do.

Dig deep is what fighting is about literally, if not you die in actual combat. That being said, if he chose to call his own death and way out give it to him. Quitters quit, winners win and not everyone will go out out on their shield. Find another sport, no shame in testing yourself.

The great henry cejudo once said you need 2 things to succeed....skill and heart.....Max clearly missed the second one...BIG TIME

To me Ariel is starting to think he’s way more important and bigger than he actually is. Like he literally thinks he knows more than actually fighters.

Great questions Helwani.. Great answers D.C

How real of a man is DC!!!!

Helwhiny is such a drama queen

DC changed my perspective...

This is the best debate of DC and Ariel to date! So many good points back and forth

The best MMA Journalist and one of the best Analytical Athletes/Fighters in the world discussing a TOUGH topic in a way that will educate the fans and show respect to the fighter that didn’t have his “fastball” Saturday night . Everyone wins! GREAT JOB GUYS!!! THATS HOW YOU GROW YOUR SPORT!

You can, I remember my first 1000m swim, I was a young kid & wanted to give in so bad, really had enough. The coach wouldn't let me, she kept taking my hands off the side & directing me to do another length. I never quit when the going got tough in that sport ever again, not even in training. Until I got tired of the people in the sport & walked away.

Watch the video again the coach at the end calls the fight before the commissioner

Pay attention to the video. Drysdale said. " He wants to call it". Drysdale handled it perfect. Why the backlash for the Coach

You deserve a million thumbs up. I completely agree.

Sometimes I can’t listen Helwani...he’s such a non athlete. Great to listen to DC!

" Uncle Chael didn't agree with me, may be DC will" he just can't accept he is wrong.

DC has it spot on. It's a complex situation and I'm sure if he had more than a half a minute to think things through, the coach might have, especially with hindsight, said something differently or tried a different approach. But in the heat of the moment he's trying to do his job to the best of his ability and understanding. Probably should have realised eventually that Max wasn't going back out, but like DC says he's thinking of how this is going to affect the kid later on too.

Fighters always find a way and has to dig deep. Someone ppl have different switch and Max might be that type of fighter. Its definatly a learning lesson for him and it's interesting to see what he would be for his next fight.

She went out there?! her career ended that night. She’ll never recover. They should have stopped that fight.

There has been many fights where a fighter was getting beat most of the rounds but managed to endure and pull out a last-minute win. The First fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen is a great example. The coach believed his wrestling was better and if he could take him down he may pull out the win. In the end of the day maybe he should have ended it if the fighter was that against it but people shouldn't bash the coach for trying his best to motivate his fighter to endure. Thats what any athlete would want their coach to do. Im sure all of the greats had one moment in life where they thought they couldn't do it but still did.

it just showed he is no where near the lv needed to be in the ufc. He will never fight in the ufc again. Im sure it was his dream to be their. Im sure his coaches was just trying to get him threw it.

I don’t get why everyone thinks he has to call it before the bell rings for the next round. Give your fighter every opportunity to dig deep. If the ref says it’s time for the next round and the fighter still says no then call it. I would’ve waited and let him rest til last second, then called it if he still was too exhausted. Calling it at 40 seconds doesn’t protect the fighter any more than calling it at 60 seconds.

He knows how serious asking for it to be called means.

Daniel “AnswertheHardQuestions” Cormier

The “expert” swimmer that never got in the water is at again. I’m sure the guy works hard but there are far more talented writers out there and less douchey that are just as passionate.

The ref always asks the fighters if they’re ready at the beginning of rounds. Thats when he would be given his final chance to quit or not, the coach knew that.

At the end Ariel is mouth open like 'wuuut' lol

Coach Drysdale did the right thing. Max Rohskopf answered that he doesn't have the mental ability to succeed at the UFC level. I would say this was his 1st and last fight ever in the UFC.

I really like DC & HELWANI together they do a great job off of one another and there's a good chemistry because of their different perspectives.👍🏼

Many fights are let go for way too long to the detriment long term health of the fighters. Specially in how little most fighters make.

Ariel needs to leave his emotions out of it.

Ariel "Sports Killer" Helwani

This conversation is so interesting.When Ariel speaks,I go on his side.When DC speaks,I go on his side.Its a very equally matched debate.

DC is right, the coach did what a coach should and try to get his fighter back in the fight as it was still a competitive match and nowhere near a demolition or injured fighter. Regardless if the fighter doesn’t want to continue he has all the power to tell the ref himself.
