i thought it was early stoppage. Randy wasnt just laying there he had his hands up and was turning into Brock which is what you are suppose to do.No different then when he dropped Mir.Randy is a up standing guy and is not going to complain

I agree. I was thinking the same way at the end of the fight.

Anyways, given the situation I don’t think it was a late stoppage. I think it was a fine.

Yeah exactly. Veterans like Couture and Nog are given every chance to defend themselves and recover. Nogueira was on queer street when Heath hit him and particularly when Tim clocked him and tried to follow up.

I imagine the referees really don’t want to make a supposed ‘early stoppage’ against the experienced vets like Couture and Nog. Imagine the uproar if the ref controversially stopped a title fight supposedly prematurely with a GSP, BJ or Anderson in it. Think along the lines of the Vera Werdum fight, you don’t want a crappy stoppage like that in a title fight. The fighters are probably given a little extra time in the title fights so they can’t come out afterwards and call bullsh!t on the decision. Rightly so too.

Dana is a looser he wanted Randy to loose from the begining thats why he is saying that . How many of you have seen refs let the fight go longer than that with guys like Joe Stevenson bleading like hell and the fight wasn’t stopped i think is was stopped early Randy got up right away and he was fine and they were not hard punches. Brock hits like a girl for how big he is and how many punches he threw Randy should have been out cold and he was no were near out Dana!Brock will loose that belt as fast as he got it unless they give him a nobody to fight……

The stoppage was absolutely perfect. P.S. Where are the PPV numbers already?
