What We Learned From the Baron Geisler and Kiko Matos URCC Brawl

A lot of MMA fans were talking about that match between Baron Geisler and Kiko Matos at the Universal Reality Combat Championship or URCC. But everybody who witnessed the match inside the octagon cage got dismayed when the match ended in a draw because it had to be stopped in the second round.

The conclusion of the match with Baron and Kiko which actually started in a real life brawl tells everything about Mixed Martial Arts and all other contact sports, "it separates Man from the Boys".

MMA is a man's sports while Baron and Kiko are just boys trying to play the man's game. MMA fighters are trained professionals, their stamina and edurance are beyond any mortal man. Their body knows how to handle pain and the more the match gets intense, the more their strength spikes to top.

Unfortunately for Baron and Kiko, they were just 5 feet and above by standers who were invited by a low grade MMA promotion to get it on inside the cage.

In the conclusion of the match, Kiko Matos stumbled to the canvas, catching his breath and he could having nausea during that time. Same way as Baron, who is at the hype before the match was talking trash and was acting like some berserk animal, but ended up catching his breath and got nothing left.

URCC choked on this one, they tought it was a good idea to put those guys in inside the cage to take advantage of people clamouring to see them get it on, but they simply couldn't deliver.

Every contact sports always reminds us "don't try this at home" and "only for trained professionals". I think that the URCC violated those reminders themselves. Baron and Kiko aren't professional fighters, they couldn't even bust each other's mouth because they hit like girls. And they could even walk after the match ended. If those two would actually get booked in a match against a real fighter, they would end up in a hospital or worst.

I'm an MMA fan too, and I think what URCC did was a mockery of the industry. This is the reason why it's just a minor league and would always remain what it was when it started, an underground promotion.
