Thanks for the answer Clint. From your explanation, I still find it kinda odd that Pride would be so concerned about a stoppage over a cut, but not soccer kicks to the head of a downed opponent. The first time I saw a video of Shogun/Wandy teeing off on some poor dudes head, I was shocked, but strangely interested in it. I think the casual fan, if they saw that kinda stuff would love it. Although, chumps like McCain or other high and mighty people would find that quite savage.
