    You can see Goddard talking to Colby too. Assuming saying "show me something" or whatever they usually say. Said it 2 or 3 times and nothing. Time to stop the fight.

    Goddard has about 15 years experience I trust his opinion. It's easy to criticize watching on TV but they have the lives of fighters in their hands. Do they make mistakes? Absolutely as done any ref in any sport, they are only human.

    Anyone that disagrees with that stoppage is retarded.

    Covington was done. Great refereeing by Goddard.

    As someone said earlier, the lust for people to see a guy unconscious is crazy. He was cooked

    A chance to accept more damage? What would the point of that be?

    He gave him a chance, he didn't stop it the first time he went down, he stopped it when he got back up got hit again and went down again with Usman going in for the kill.

    Finally caught up with seeing this fight and agree with this. Marc Goddard saved Colby from himself and I don't think there was any way Colby was recovering from that position when the fight was stopped. Some shots to the back of the head in the ending but I believe Usman had the presence of mind to adjust and start to change his shot placement.

    Had it 2-2 in my head going into the 5th and Usman taking the round after the first knock down shy of an actual miracle from Colby.

    It's no win bonus, not no ppv points.

    A flat fee means no win bonus. Ariel is talking about no ppv points on top of the flat fee
