People who say things like this typically have never really been in a fight themselves. They have no concept of anything.
18 min = 6 rounds of boxing (without getting five 1-min breaks inbetween).
Now then, you take a stopwatch, and you actually sit there and *time* 18 minutes ... just sit there for 18 minutes
Now, while you're sitting on your ass for 18 minutes straight, imagine instead GETTING YOUR FUCKING ASS HANDED TO YOU EVERY SECOND OF IT.
Kicked, punched, stomped, dominated, fucked up, thrown, slammed, bit, elbowed, NO RULES, you are getting fucking POUNDED. Just DECIMATED ... until you are
ABOUT TO DIE.
You sit there and
really think about taking
18 straight minutes of absolute abuse, to the point where you're about to die, and if you had enough mettle in you to "scratch back" to that ...
I doubt that very much. My bet would be you would shit all over yourself, beg for mercy, and would *not* willingly go back "for more" of that type of total abuse to the point of death.
Actually go through something like that first, and until you do, don't ever again and ask "How a dog can be so damned game" in :18 of time, if it really was on the brink of death.
See if some part of that empty space between your ears can register
what it might be like to get the living shit knocked out of you for that long,
by a truly devastating opponent, before you EVER try to sit there again (all high and mighty) judging the gameness of an animal that is 100x gamer than you
