Because in MMA, you can have a bear with the opponent afterwards... both are consenting to the fight and are aware of the risks, most do exactly as the ref says...
Granted I'm not a massive fan of MMA and feel it has contributed in some way to a different way of violence on the streets... Thugs just see the fights and think it'd be a great idea to take someone down and belt the shit out of them... It's not what MMA was ever meant to stand for... But unfortunately that's why some people join, they probably wouldn't last long in proper gyms as there are alot of quality people in the MMA circuit.
My dad always told me back in his day, it was one on one, and you shook hands afterwards, all things forgiven.
