The scale increases, but the substance doesn’t.
Mystery is a loan, not a gift.
Borrow it carefully. Repay it on purpose.
But every reveal collapses possibilities into one reality.
And reality is always smaller than your best theory.
That’s the debt coming due 📉
Mystery feels huge because the box is still closed 📦
Unanswered questions = infinite possibility
Your imagination does the work 🧠✨
Starts grounded + gripping… ends bloated + lore-heavy.
This isn’t “bad writing” in the simple sense.
It’s structural: mystery creates narrative debt 💸
Combined, these measures would reward clean competition and remove incentives to fight dirty. Aspinall shouldn’t be blamed for protecting himself. MMA rules just need to catch up. 🥊
Solutions exist. Reactive: immediate point deductions. Proactive: glove design. Bellator’s curved gloves reduce finger extension and record far fewer eye pokes per fight.
The real issue: broken incentives. Current rules reward fighters who commit fouls and leave victims disadvantaged. Studies show early-round eye pokes strongly predict victory, yet most go unpunished.
Significant strikes landed were fairly equal, making this Aspinall’s toughest fight yet. However he was smiling seconds before the eye poke, relishing the challenge.
