Everyone loves a knockout. Who doesn’t feel their insides flutter when they see Edson Barboza wheel kick the love of tea out of Terry Etim’s mouth? Who didn’t get giddy when Mark Hunt walk-off KOed Roy Nelson?
But maybe you’re a kinder soul than most. Maybe potential long-term damage from head trauma makes you uncomfortable.
