Possible early stoppage.
This was the only fight on the card that I thought was stopped too early.
Unlike Houston Alexander, Karo was never actually out and unable to defend himself. His knees buckled, but his hands were up and I think that’s key. I doubt Thiago would have given him a chance to recover, but considering that Karo won the first round, all the tough matches he’s been through in the past, and the title implications on the line, I think he should have been given that chance.
