There are a lot of things in this world that are unfair within the confines of rules and regulations.
Then there are rare moments when we say:
"In the end, we got it right"
This was one of the moments where we can say "In the end, they got it right".
We should thank the mma gods that on this night, two notable travesties didn't occur.
1) The obvious loser didn't receive brain damage.
2) The obvious winner was handed the victory.
This was a fight where the outcome was so bizarre that many will forget how great the fight was; the talent, toughness & heart displayed.
We shouldn't forget that.
And we should surely demand a rematch as fans because it's so deserved.
But on this particular night, had swords been placed next to each man, and God himself ordered each man to cease fighting and behead his opponent between the 4:30-5:00 minute mark of round 3, it's Simon who'd have been carrying a sword in one hand, and head in the other.
