Come on, even Joe Rogan saw that it was a crap stoppage at the time. What is wrong with just letting him get knocked out? Nothing wrong with just waiting until his hands go limp, other refs do it all the time. AGAIN!... to reiterate, for those slow on the uptake here... I am not saying he would have won... I just didn't like the stop. Dean sucks, and I've seen way too many early stops from him. Just let it end like it is supposed to. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, not like Nog was gonna die from a few more punches.
He WAS limp, his arms couldn't even lift high enough to defend himself, he just got pounded out and didn't intelligently defend himself at all. The UFC has rules, if you're not defending yourself it's over, doesn't matter if you're known for pulling off the comeback submission or whatever, if you're not blocking or swinging back the Ref is going to stop it because those are the rules and they are in place for fighter's safety. Nog could have died from a few more punches, he wasn't defending and was getting his face beaten in and the back of his head was no doubt bouncing off of the mat, he could have gotten seriously injured if the ref hadn't called it.
If you want mindless and brutal violence, go watch some old Pride tapes or early UFC tapes where the rules weren't as strict or protective of the fighters, when fighters got heel kicks to the face on the ground. In the meantime, I'll enjoy watching MMA, not gladiators to the death like you apparently want to see.
