yet another controversial early stoppage by Herb Dean.....he needs to be fined and punished
no controversial stoppage here, as stated by bio chem, Fedor not only went limp but it woulda been stopped no more than 10 seconds later as Henderson woulda ground and pound his face till it resembled a kicked in birdcage. Awesome job by herb dean!!

when you get hit on the button, sometimes everything goes dark for literally a split second and your legs give out, but you come back very quickly, too. as soon as he faceplanted, fedor started moving to get hendo into his guard. his hands were up trying to create distance between him and hendo and dean tried stopping it after 2 additional hits. hendo kept going and landed another 2 or 3 but fedor was not out.
don't get me wrong, i wanted hendo to win, but i would've like to have seen it play out for a bit longer and have him win the right way.

IDK.. Every pundit, expert and even Scott Coker think it was a great stoppage. Only Fedor and a select few fans that think a fighter needs to be put in a coma to truly be considered "out" think otherwise. I actually didn't see a way Dan could win this fight and my money was riding on Fedor. As soon as he faceplanted I knew it was over. And the only reason Fedor had a chance to turn to his back is because Herb Dean was already intervening at that point and Dan still got off a few more shots. Fedor couldn't stand straight when they stood him up either.
I've also heard this compared to the Kongo/Barry fight, but at no point was Kongo 100% limp and face-first on the canvas. Kongo was severely rocked but he kept moving. Fedor, even for a split second, was completely out.

I hear ya. It's always gonna be a matter of opinion but I know of I was in that situation, I would've wanted to keep going. We always say we don't want the fighters to get fucked up and I agree, but they're fighters. They get the shit kicked out of them for a living.
I'm pretty sure Fedor didn't even know what the situation was until he saw it on the big screen moments later.
The thing about this stoppage is that you can't really blame Herb Dean, in fact, he should be lauded for following protocol to a T. People that have a problem with the stoppage should have a problem with the rule itself, not that Dean exhibited poor judgement. I mean it's not like Fedor rolled to his back and pulled guard. He rolled over with his hands flailing and Hendo in side control ready to dish out more damage. He got knocked cold, came to a little bit, then rolled over into more danger. One more huge punch could be the difference between a mild concussion and serious long-term brain damage. They might be fighters but they still have lives to live and families to feed. The idea is to give ass-kickings for a living, not take them.

Dean let several obvious blows to the back of the head staring right at them before he stopped it.....
