Anyone else think Miragliotta was late to step in for Thiago

[mattf]

I think Thiago took 2 or 3 unnecessary elbows. I hate to see fighters take needless punishment drives me crazy. I was yelling for him to stop it sooner.

I am sure some of you do not agree with this please tell me why.

 

[standupguru**]

Khabib nearly killed him

 

[IAC]

I got to agree.

 

[Chaelsbackfist**]

Way too late.

You know a dude is done when he's on his back, getting elbowed brutally in the face and can do jack about it. No need to let him take an extra 45 shots, jesus..

I think Dan is becoming the worse performing ref in the business...and that includes Winslow.

He seems to be very inconsistent, being a ref is tough but seemed obvious to me he let it go to long, I wonder if anyone told him this or they were ok with it.

Its Big Dan , what else is new

 

[SimonNova]

were Tavares' arms trapped or he didnt defend vs the elbows because he was already out?

 

[Takun]

He had a bet to see if he could get away with allowing a full on murder to happen..

 

[mikey diablo]

Nah, I think they should go back to UFC 1 rules and make the corner throw in the towel. No one can complain about these stoppages then.

In my mind he was not defending the last elbows at all, I forgot how many but it was way to many.

 

[BLIND]

Did you say 2 or 3?? it was more like 7 or 8. Thiago was fucked up from the first 1 or 2 to be honest. the next 3-5 were needed to solidify the stoppage and then the next 7-8 were just not needed. Khabib did right by keeping going anyway to avoid controversy but got damn Big Dan. what in the fuck?

My mom decided to sit down and watch that fight with me ya jerk! She was asking me if there were any rules regarding stopping fights haha

 

[Pterodactyl]

Yes TS. I could not believe it. I really hope Tavares is ok. I like Dan, but...

Then, he turns around and jumps in for the Vitor/Bisping stoppage.

Weird.

The point of making UFC more accpeted is to stop these bad stoppages this one was just brutal.

 

[SimonNova]

I think that for the first elbows he was still conscious but unable to defend because of the position he was in...but obviously the first 2-3 elbows did the job and he was out before Dan stepped in.

Probably a late stoppage indeed.

Yeah you are probably right its a blur to me I was so mad and I did not watch it again just pissed me off.

Did that rule get eliminated? Because with refereeing like that it's starting to become a necessity.

I thought the same thing he was quicker for this stoppage perhaps somebody said somthing to him?

 

[lockon]

yep, was definitely late

 

[iloveufc123]
