Vannata got screwed

[welcometohavoc]

That fight should have ended in the first round by TKO

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

No. Ferguson was defending intelligently at all times. Great showing by Vannatta though.

 

[Kadafi]

He's a beast. Glad they didn't stop the fight.

 

[MitMcl]

Obviously not.

The guy was literally falling backwards and turning his back. If that's defending yourself, RDA should still be champion

 

[Rod Farva]

Ferguson was in trouble but not "end the fight" in trouble. Obviously he could continue.

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

I got screwed when I clicked this thread.

 

[Death By Samson]

I would have liked to see Vannatta get the win but the ref did the right thing by not stopping it. Obviously.

 

[DeathByBeer]

Nope. Ref did it right.

Great fight.

Too bad Vanatta let himself get hit so much, overconfident in his chin and it clearly wore him down.

 

[mime]

vannata should have backed away and let fergusen stand up

 

[tdluxon]

That fight should have ended in the first round by TKO

Definetly could have been stopped

Great fight either way

 

[welcometohavoc]

Obviously not.

I mean lets just restart fights after a guy gets KO'd or tapped. If they win, obviously they weren't really finished

[touchedbyjab]

I'm most definately a fan of Vanatta now

 

[The White Mamba]

Fun to watch. Glad Ferguson won though hopefully him and Khabib can get their fight lined up.

 

[GBcrazy]

A fight should be stopped when the fighter can't fight back. If Ferguson wom is because he fought back.

 

[nintey]

The only way he got screwed is having to fight Tony in his debut, he would have annihilated any lower ranked guy and their'd be huge hype around him. I'm very impressed, but he's just a wee bit too cocky.

 

[Swing the Axe]

That fight should have ended in the first round by TKO

When did you want the ref to stop it? When Tony was going for the kneebar, or the ankle lock?

 

[sky]

Ferguson always looks awkward when hit, but he 's just scrambling to safetey

A fight should be stopped when the fighter can't fight back. If Ferguson wom is because he fought back.

No, a fight should be stopped when a fighter isn't defending himself and is out on his feet. The fact that the ref let it continue and let Ferguson recover doesn't mean he didn't meet the criteria of not defending himself

 

[ReasonableMMAFan]

The fight should of probably been stopped, but it wasn't.
