Early Stoppage

[Objectively Correct]

Adesanya still had a chance to recover. Call him washed all you want but that shit was an ugly early stoppage.

 

[MigitAs]

Agree; fight should have continued until Izzy was completely out, like a MW Black Beast/Travis Browne

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

I don t think so. He had that Cro Cop leg while protesting. He was not there anymore. But, he s been seen to recover. Anyways I am fine with the stoppage.

 

[TITS]

The ref should have paused it after the eyepoke and not let Adesanya do his own reffing.

 

[TheBulge]

This is why Pride fans want fights to be in the ring again because they want to see more suffering.

 

[tritestill]

Should retire, ate like four shots after

Should retire, ate like four shots after

Can't tell if serious and dumb or funny and smart

 

[BigTruck]

Should have been stopped after the 2nd shot dropped him right on his face, the follow ups kind of woke him back up.

Tried his hand to imitate potan and failed miserably.

 

[balkanbomber85]

No and he deserved all what was coming after he tried to have his own Poatan moment.

 

[Egészségére!]

He was knocked down & not defending at least the last 2 shots

That said we’ve all seen fighters recover in similar situations

Close call but yeah 2-3 seconds too early imo

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Yamasaki please come back. We're barely holding on.

 

[KoChang]

Former champ, he deserved a few more seconds. That said, he was likely done like dinner.

How much money did you lose

It's actually ridiculous people are pretending this isn't a clear and obvious stoppage.

He's face down getting tee'd off.

It's similar to the Aspinall Blaydes fight that people incorrectly cried early stoppage about. Seen similar daft claims of the face down fighter about to get prison raped "pushing back up on their hands" when they just aren't

 

[Cobra 03]

Ref did a good job, Izzy was finished.

 

[FreedomCricket]

I would've liked to see the ref give Izzy 3-4 more seconds to get up/move.

I felt it was an early stoppage but acceptable.

Izzy has a great ability to recover quickly. Every time he's been rocked, Poatan, Strickland, DDP... he recovers very quickly.

 

[Dionysian]

It was about a full two seconds too early, but Sherdoggers like to gloat over a result after the result is made (and that means any result) and say anyone that disagrees with that result is an asshole crybaby or whatever, so yeah get ready to be made fun of for being an asshole crybaby.
