Fedor wasnt knocked out-Herb Dean's premature stoppage robbery-Dana compliments Heb

[monaroCountry]

Usually when a fighter is KO'ed and out cold his arms, legs and body either just flops out or stiffens out. The overhead view looked like Fedor stiffened from the blow but thats the the angle, this one more clearly shows that Fedor never did what people in la la land normally do. Other footage also shows Fedor popping straight back up to his feet within a second, again and Herb pushing him to the cage, again not something KO'ed fighters normally do.

Was he hazed by the shot, absolutely, was Dan hazed by Fedor's shot previously, absolutely. It was a premature stoppage by Herb Dean.

And of course, straight after the fight Dana White compliments his little buddy with 'He's the Best Referee Ever in the History of the Sport' ... Herb Dean is the best referee in the business' cold

Fedor could have died if Herb Dean left that fight going

[Smokin LHook]

You can clearly see from that GIF that Fedor did stiffen while Dan proceeded to pound on his head. The reason why this looks like a bad stoppage is because Fedor came right to after Dean stopped the fight making it look like he was fine, when in reality he was rocked.

The only reason people are complaining is because Fedor looked alright after the fight was stopped but IN THAT MOMENT. He looked like he was KO'D as in OUT COLD. In HINDSIGHT the stoppage was premature but at the time Herb made a good call,.
