I think the stoppage was a tad early. He still seemed to be defending himself from getting hurt really bad. But the ref is in there and close up to the fighters so maybe the stoppage was just. If the fight hadn’t stopped, I bet there would be an extra round or maybe a win by Rory. Carlos won the third round, but I believe the first two were dominated by Rory.
First of all this is a 3 round fight, it is impossible to go an extra round in any sanctioned fight. TUF is a different story. About the stoppage, a lot of emphasis was placed on the whole couple seconds left in the fight. The truth is, the fighters and the referee do not know how much time is left, and the referee cannot make a biased decision based on the fact that “Oh, there’s only 4 seconds left, let him get his face bashed in until the decision”. It is all about fighter safety, and for the majority of the 3rd round Carlos was really damaging Rory. End of Story.
If you thought rory dominated the first two your a fool. 10-9 yes. but they were close. Not like it was a 10-8. Carlos did way too much damage in the 3rd, i felt it could have been stopped sooner. HIs face was jacked up
