Had the fight continued into the next round, Chael could've won by TKO like Khabilov beat Madeiros in the prelims.

@stange They stopped Khabilov vs. Madeiros in the prelims because of a broken thumb and Jones broken toe looked equally as nasty, so they could've probably stopped it.

i think they would have declared that the fighter could not answer the bell of the 2nd round

Uhm... your big toe completely controls your balance. They also stopped a fight in ultimate fighter due to a broken toe. So I have to ask you; what the **** are you talking about?

I wonder if the hole Jon mentioned came from Medeiros's thumb punching through it.
