Off we go again.

PS Bigstu, Kalib Starnes vs Alan Belcher. Doctor stopped the fight between rounds because of a cut on Starnes forehead. I remember either the doctor or one of the cornermen saying that the cut was so deep he could see the skull!

I remember that now but stops in MMA due to cuts are not as frequent as they are in boxing. I sometimes wonder whether the guy checking the cut is in fact Dana White in disguise

DrPhil

Definitely bit as common as boxing. Thankfully.

I was just thinking before the other night that I hadn't seen a cut stoppage in ages.

Remember Koscheck vs Lytle and Penn bs Stevenson? 2 of the bloodiest fights I've even seen. There's a picture of Stevenson (easily found on google images) of him on his hands and knees after the loss, face completely scarlet with blood, and crying. Not one for the squeamish.

Struve vs Stonjic was another epic bloodbath.

Bigfoots eyes are so deep-set they were like egg cups filling with blood.

I never saw the actual cut, but WOW it was a gusher

He might have had a slim chance if he could stand, but it was a dangerous place to be blind; on his back with Cain dropping bombs

Bj penn vs Diego Sanchez was a stoppage wasn't it?

DrPhil

Think you're right. That was a crazy cut. BJ's leg was on the way down again and the blood started streaming. Looked amazing in the slo mo replay.

That's Mayhem retired now, announced it on the MMA Hour.

Although not UFC, Diaz was stopped via a cut against KJ Noons too.
