by stripping mary of the title (in such a public manner)it has caused more problems...ppl need not have known about all this in the background....its opened a right can of worms!
A possible better way around it would have been to just put on the re-match and acknowledge a bad situation/poor management etc, but go forward in a positive manner and "manage" around the previous problems...
it was a great fight between to great fighters (so I am told) so ppl would not have questioned why they were fighting again so soon.
there are not that many female fighters at that level, so an on going battle of wills is exciting and keeps it positive.
look at boxing where top champs have fought 2,3,4 times....nobody questions why they fought so often...

maybe some lessons to be learnt here???
this is a great forum to discuss fighting matters and it is rare to discuss "management" matters... I think this is good for the sport to avoid this problem happening again.
It also calls into question the validity, qualifications and experience of judges....can this be done from video? i think not.

you guys know I love my quotes, so in conclusion....
- we only learn from our mistakes
- why make the same mistake twice, there are plenty of new ones to make!!!
