Weidman was way outclassed. My wife got upset watching that live. I thought they should have stopped that fight way before they did.
I agree.
And this is why the UFC is no different than boxing, in certain aspects. The big name fighters, the ones who can bring in the money, are looked out for and protected.
If a guy Dana White wants is losing, then he gets more time to try to come back.
Weidman, the guy who beat Anderson Silva twice, was given FOREVER last night. He took an absolute beating from Rockhold. It should've been stopped in the 3rd rd. Instead, it was allowed to continue, in the hope Weidman would come back.
If a guy Dana White wants is winning, then the fight is stopped quickly.
The stoppage in the Edgar fight was a complete joke. Mendes wasn't even hurt that bad.
McGreger fight is stopped quick. This sets up the obvious next match.
