MMA figther Max Rohskopf pleads with his coach 9 times before he agrees to end the fight
Rohskopf’s coach, Robert Drysdale defended his decision to urge his fighter to push through. That’s because the renowned trainer knew that come Monday morning, Rohskopf would regret quitting … which he already does.
“I knew that he was going to regret the decision. It was going to be one of the gravest mistakes of his life,” he said. “He regrets it already … I know that deep down, he didn’t want to quit.”
