Why did Marc Goddard stop but ...

[HHJ]

Joe Rogan is a lot different from Marc Goddard. Marc is not only closer to the action, he is trained and specialized to be a master on knowing when a fight is over and the fighter is under dangerous healthy issues if the fight is not stopped from when a fight is still up. He spent years in it with huge knowledge and heavy studying. Ofc, that doesn't mean every decision will be the exact same, but still, a pattern is way more likely to be consistently factored in than not. Like a doctor, the referees try to be as precise as possible, specially Marc who's regarded as a master on this field. There may be differences, and no mistakes, but big ones, like, big discrepancies, is very unlikely. Possible, but very unlikely, even more when it comes to worldly high regarded referees like Goddard... taking into account his available info background as an MMA fighter and MMA safety analyst heavy studies and trainings of others on it, which I've google'd some hours ago.

Marc when responding to criticisms over the Poatan vs Jiri I, said he was the one who also referee'd the Glover vs Jiri... And said that he had seen clear signs in Poatan vs Jiri of a fighter being incapable of continuing. Like, the non-stoppage leading to unnecessarily heavy damage in a match that was already lost, unlike in the Glover vs Jiri, in which he said to have seen clear traits showing the fight was still undecided, and that the healthy risks weren't as serious.

Would you say it's also likely to have a logical reasoning in the sense of mma safety, like, real signs that one was already out of safety boundaries?

Yeah, because at the end of the day everyone is watching them and if they make a horrible call like Mirgalotta in Hawes fight and he has a black mark forever. Their job is the safety, so they only really have so much room to play with. It's probably easier to get away with fast stoppages. Normally they let title fights go further than early prelims though.

Goddard could have a million committees and give thousands of speeches at Harvard, yet it still won't change the fact that he is a POS sorry ass egotistical ref, and one of the worst in the business. Fuck goddard and shit refs like him. They are the worst of the worst.
