It was a legit stoppage, was it the best? No, but I wouldn't say it was a wrong call.

TJ came back from worse to finish fighters though.
The only example that even comes close was the first Cody fight. And TJ was saved by the bell in that exchange. Come on, son...
Yeah and he showed an impressive ability to go from completely rocked to finishing a guy with just a minute break.
Yes, after a minute break. As opposed to after a full minute of hammer fists. lol
It was a flat out bad stoppage. He grabbed a leg and in a lucid state .Whst would've happened from there ? Who knows. Henry was blasting him but could t.j of held on for dear life until better positioning ? Yes. Flip side of the coin- Would Henry continue to pound him and ref step in anyway? definitely a possibility.TJ came back from worse to finish fighters though.
It was about 10-20 seconds early, I think.
Considering he wasn't even hurt as badly by Cejudo as Cody had him hurt, I think the fight should have continued a bit more, there was a lot of the line and he was trying to wrestle when the fight was stopped.
Finally!!!!!

He grabbed the leg in an instinctive state...does any lucid fighter believe that they can complete a single-leg while sitting on their butts?It was a flat out bad stoppage.

We'll never know cause that was horrible as co-main and main were ruined , hence- everyone was robbed.
What?! There was a Cruz version, too?I've been posting the Cruz version religiously whenever I see the original too <45>
I was so happy when bigwaverider updated it
If you want to compare, I think the stoppage in the second Barao/Faber fight was worse. Faber had a tight grip on Barao's leg and was getting punched in the shoulder while holding a thumb's up to the ref.
