That was a smoker. It's pretty well known.

Both of the last two fights looked like nothing substantial landed after the knockdown. (edit, watched it again and Poirer got blasted on the follow up so I'm wrong on that one) What's the point of this sport if the ref stops it as soon as someone's ass hits the dirt from a knockdown? It makes the sport look stupid.
Fighters get hit and knocked down but they should get a chance to get back in the fight or it should be up to their opponent to put an exclamation point on their dominance.

I don't know if I would classify either as a typical knockdown. Both dropped stiff without breaking their fall. To me dropping a fighter like that IS the exclamation point.

Well that's my point, let's just call the fight after such a knockdown then.
Why bother with anything else if all it takes to get the ref to stop it is a bunch of shots that hit arms and shoulders? There's no point in pretending, is there?
edit- okay Poirer definitely got hit with a very solid follow-up shot- bad call on my part.

I see your point but that's just the sport. There's too many variables to have clear cut calls.

You're right but that one left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I think it's because he walked around first before going back and celebrating over his unconscious opponent. No biggie really I just don't care for that aspect of it. .

was very Tito Ortiz of him....He was just seeing dollar signs and had a lot of fight/adrenaline left in him because that ended so early

I like this site because we can disagree amicably without the need to prove our point. I can say my piece but still see your perspective.

The Poirier stoppage was correct.
The Hall stoppage should have been allowed to continue because Brunson was missing with those attempted strikes on the ground.

Herb Dean is getting too old for this shit.
