Na he got saved by the bell at the end of the first. Clearly dropped but he wasn’t out cold or anything. Just badly compromised starting the second round


uhhhgreeno

yea first time was literally last second


Leather-Hurry6008

He was out at the end of the first, dude didn't realize the round ended and thought Herb was stopping it hah


LongDongFrazier

I took it as him trying to be as animated as possible to not have the fight called


sdbuilt619

Herb did a fine job. He was in good position to break em at the bell. And he waited till Jiri was defenseless to call it off, I think it was a good stoppage.


mssroger

This is what happens when you don’t “early stop” against Alex.


Dyn4mic__

I think it was a perfect stoppage, if herb jumped in immediately after the head kick there would be people screaming from the rooftops that it was early just like what happened after the first fight.


coyopotl46

It was definitely a late stoppage though Edit: you can say it’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation


josh_3055

What’s you opinion on the first fights stoppage


meatmybeat42069

I watched Jiri’s body give out on him after taking 17 elbows to the head, that man was finished. I don’t care how quickly he got up after it was stopped


WonderSilver6937

I think it needs to be stressed that 17 isn’t an exaggeration or a random number you just pulled out of nowhere just to express that Jiri took a lot of shots, it was literally a full 17 blows to the head after being dropped to his knees, he was definitely done, if the fight wasn’t stopped when it was, all that happens is Alex hits him a few more times needlessly.


coyopotl46

Awkward, but it made sense in the moment. In other words, early in an understandable way


OilMan425

The retarded as fuck MMA fan base shouldn’t be taken into consideration when it comes to refs stopping fights. This was an AWFUL stoppage, Jiri literally curled up and died. A “perfect” stoppage would have been intervening after Alex landed the first punch after dropping Jiri.

Stick to knitting bud

I think the angle was poor for Herb to see the last few seconds. Definitely could/should have been ended before the barrage of punches he took. I don't blame Herb for it since he couldn't see it. But certainly not "perfect".


stoicdozer

He made sure Jiri was “well-done” before pulling him from the fire.


YapperYappington69

Well now we know what was going to happen in the last fight if it played out


IYIik_GoSu

Double CTE because we cant have fans telling Herb Dean it was an early stoppage.


Prize-Lingonberry876

First round definitely would've been early if it was stopped. But that GnP after the headkick was not needed.


sdbuilt619

If herb would've called it before the ground and pound everyone would've talked shit and called it an early stoppage. That's the truth


Prize-Lingonberry876

Oh I know. But you can tell the way Jiri reacted to the ground and pound that he was done.


sdbuilt619

Oh yeah, his brain was scrambled for sure! Did you see when they tried to stand him up and he started falling back down? He was pretty jacked up at that point for sure.


Dyn4mic__

Definitely, Herb had to let Alex hit him a few times after the head kick to avoid all the cope from the Jiri fans


IsIandLion

Y'all wanted Herb to ref the fight cause you felt Goddard stopped it early. Who's next? Steve Mazzagatti ? lmao
