I've had popped zits bleed more than that. Anyone else feel that fight should've went longer?

Yea, called too soon, but I heard he had a cut just on the inside of his eye, next to his nose? Maybe thats why. Even I couldn't believe it when they stopped it when they did. Compared to what Ken looked like............

Yeah, that stoppage was LAME. Every now and then you'll see one of those lameassed stoppages in the UFC it seems.

If Sapp/Nog took place in the UFC, it would have been over after the first 5 minutes.

I agree, but wasn't big john reffing the hughes/castillo fight? I think he has been the culprit for early stoppages in the past...

Yeah, Big John was reffing that one. But I think it was a doctor's stoppage.

I will post this once, and once only.

The fight was not stopped because of the cut, it was stopped because he couldn't see out of his eye.

I think it was kinda bs, but better safe than sorry right?

It was B.S? He couldn't see! There is no way he should of been allowed to keep fighting.

The win to Hughes might of been B.S

A No Conest would of been more fitting. It doesn't matter though, Hughes would of won if the headbutt hadn't hit him in the eye. Matt Hughes is a beast

The fight was definately going in hughes favor. I didn't notice anything said about him not being able to see out of his eye, where did you get this info?

no no no no no....... HE SAID "I can't see" thats why it was stopped. Had nothing to do with the cut.
