Gifford told his corner man that he felt terrible. Once you hear that you should be obligated to stop the fight. I blame his corner if anything.
I haven’t seen anyone really touch on the point when Bisping was giving Davis a chance to show compassion towards his Ktfo’d opponent Gifford, David basically said : “no, he kept coming forward, thanks for letting me almost end his life ref!”
Just thought that was insult to injury. That whole fight was fucked up and still disturbs me, can’t believe his dad let him almost die.

Also, the people who were outraged by this fight would have a goddamn anyerisym if they ever watched Sakuraba/Smirnovas.
frankie vs bj 3 was a mercy stoppage, no one complained about it though. it was a mismatch on paper before the event and bj mounted zero offenseWhen have you ever seen a ref step in and stop a fight because a fight was one sided, even though the fighter wasn't out on his feet and was still defending himself? If you think a new precedent or standard for stopping a fight should be adopted then that's a conversation we can have, but operating under the current standards the ref did absolutely nothing wrong.
The outrage is odd because everybody is constantly triggered by fights being “stopped early”
I’ll keep that in mind the next time the ref has to fill someone’s tires with air.You know there is a middle ground between stopped early and stopped late, right?
If I asked someone to fill my tires and they put in so little that the tires were still flat, I'd be right to be upset. But I think I'd also be right to be upset if they filled the tires with so much air that they burst.
