When GSP beat Hendricks :

Yes, I'd be perfectly fine with it.

And anything after is irrelevant. Bisping could not get to his feet after the round, that is grounds for calling off the fight.

Grounds yes.. But he won.. So Bisping gets full credit, and the ref got it right..

No, the ref did not. If there are grounds to stop a fight because a fighter can not get to their feet after a round, the ref should stop the fight.

At least you admitted there were grounds to stop the fight, you're making progress

How do you know he couldn't get up? Maybe he just didn't want to get up.

It is a results oriented business. And there is NOT an exact playbook for this.. Sometimes you have to feel it out. Can the fighter recover in 60 seconds? Judgement call.. What did Silva do in rounds 4 and 5? Nothing.. And Bisping won. Results matter.. Great job by the ref..

Because I watched the fight...

He fell to his knees, face down after the knee. He rolled to his ass while Silva was celebrating, then back to his knees with his face to the mat and needed his corner to help him to the stool.

Google exists, use it.

Everything after is irrelevant when the situation is right in your face after a round. He couldn't get up by himself, that's on video.

Right. But again judgement call.. And what happened after? It was the correct judgement.. Results matter..
