Insults and profanity to a polite counter argument classic sherdog.
as I have said my opinion is that these are grown men that were not forced to compete. They know the risks and I believe the ref's job is to only step in to protect them when they cannot protect themselves, not when they think an outcome might happen. Cody was still moving and still trying to defend. There have been instances of people coming back from far worse and winning.
Once again for people who lack the ability to go back and read context I am in no way saying Cody was coming back nor did I pick Cody to win. I think he was done I just think the stoppage could have waited until he was dropped. He deserves the same chance as everyone else and others have been given that luxury to come back from worse, immediate examples that spring to mind Edgar vs Maynard 1 and 2, Kongo vs Barry, Lesnar Vs Carwin, Fedor vs Randleman(imagine the ref assuming Fedor died and stopped the fight from the slam), 90% of Big Nog fights, 90% of Leben fights, Hendo vs Shogun could have been stopped a few times. The list goes on and on. The point is no more lasting damage was going to have been done than was already done and they know the risks let them fight a fight should never be stopped if someone is still standing and attempting to defend.
To address your second post my entire point is so what you are saying does not happen. If he let the fight go on until there was no question Cody would have no argument the fight would be definitive to even the most hardcore Cody supporter that there was no controversy no early stoppage.
