because the ref ruled the injury was caused by an accidental foul.

There were a couple of times the action stopped. The first time guzman was tripped and was obviously hurt/limping, that's when it was ruled an accidental foul. The ref asked guzman if he could continue, he said yes and the fight went on. Moments later Guzman went down again, this time in what appeared to be much more pain and the fight was stopped, still citing the original leg injury.

Ref ruled it an "accidental foul" which would make it going to the scorecards the right decision. However the accidental foul ruling was complete BS and never should of got called and Khabib should of won by TKO, IMO. Either way....Guzman was going to get knocked out regardless.
