That's a shame. I see what the ref was looking at... he just jumped the gun a little bit. I bet he knows it was a mistake.

TBH , I'm down for an insta rematch. If they're gonna do it for random fights that have dumb stoppages like Sabah Homasi and razak Al-Hassan did years ago, they NEED to do it for this one. Very clear rope a dope shtick being done. But leather was being thrown. Very early/weird stoppage as well though.

@Greg that was absolutely horrendous. I can't remember the last time I saw a stoppage that bad.

I think it was only a matter of time. But he could have let it go a lil bit longer.

For what it's worth, I think it's 80% likely Cutelaba was going to be KO'd within another 15 seconds.

Is Kevin Macdonald the wirst referee in the UFC, in all of MMA even????
He is so eager to dive in, the way he darts in and out. That was a TERRIBLE stoppage. You can say all you want that Cutelaba was wobbled but he was throwing back and was still fighting. What a joke!
