Chuck won on a shit stoppage. I agree if they stopped it in the 1st I would have had less of a bitch.


I actually thought it was over in the first.

Everyone here was just confused as to why it was stopped. The ref's explanation was that the fetal position was not a proper defense. But it was working. And just when the ref started to step in, it appeared Tito was about to try something. He wasn't that hurt, but he didn't complain post-fight....so...

actually no. Shamrock was actually getting hit with clean elbows, repeatedly. Totally different.


Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I saw the clips of the Shamrock fight, he was getting beat up.

In this fight, Tito was absorbing the punches with his arms, not one clean punch landed.

Dunno...Tito was in survival mode...caught flush shots on back and in face...hard to argue that stoppage imo.


It just seemed to me, to allow it to continue in the first, then stop it on much less contact...I know, the 3rd, guy's more tired, but damn...

I definitely thought the 1st was worse...however, I think Dana White maya had sumfin to say about those borderline 1st rd stoppages (Ortiz/Shamrock)
