It seemed like he was quick to stop the fight .. but ehhh... Siver was done so I can see the justification
As soon as Siver was dropped Herb was hovering over them like he was going to stop it if McGregor threw any punches at all.
Conversely we see UFC cash cows like Brock take nasty beatings where there face is profusely bleeding for like 4 minutes, but Siver basically took like 1 clean elbow from mount and it was stopped.
I used to like to think that the refs were unbiased and tried to be objective about the fights, but I don't think so anymore. Had it been McGregor on the other side of things, I think Herb would have let that round finish.
Oh well. I'm not a McGregor hater or a fan (and neither of those of Aldo either), just an observation.
oh and she was so rocked by them, right? lil baby rabbit punches. Not even 3, Daddy Herb was coming to stop it before she even started to throw the punches. She was in the process of getting up. She was in no danger of getting finished, at all. THE BRUTALITY!
This is a title fight, let the fighters fight. They've trained their whole careers for that one moment, let them follow it through and reach it's natural conclusion.
remove conor's balls and read the OP.
he said as soon as he dropped herb was hovering to stop fight. we are not talking about the actual early stoppage.
reading comprehension
And five shots to the dome immediately after the knee......
So what about when Kongo was getting his face pounded and was basically KO'd 3 different times and was given every chance to recover before knocking out Pat Barry. What's the conspiracy theory behind that?
Herb often reffs like his car is running
Negative ghost rider!!! As soon as Herb told her to defend herself she started to get up and he immediately stopped it. Was a BS stoppage live and BS after I watched it several times. Completely agree that Herb was influenced by who the fighters were (Rousey and Conor) in both stoppages. Siver was done I'll give you that, but McMann was and is the biggest threat to Rousey and no one ( Dana and Co.) wanted that fight to go any further.
Siver was turtling. Dean told him to move or react. He didn't. Dean stopped the fight.
No controversy.
This is a great stoppage. Sara has her hands on the mat, and is very clearly done. The fight wouldn't have been stopped if her hands were instead covering her face.
All I am saying is it is a title fight, people trained their whole careers for that - they might not ever see it again. Let them fight. If they are gonna get finished, let them get finished. At least give them the chance to work out of it. Do I think Rousey would have won, regardless? Yes! But at least do it where there is no doubt to be had. Give those people a chance to do what they've trained for. They are at the top of the division, they've earned that.
