    Kinda tough to call..

    but it looked like he couldnt even stand up.. Hardonk would have been all over him. Those kicks Hardonk throws are picture perfect.

    He stumbled the first time he tried to stand, as soon as the ref saw Hardonk running in he stoped it. Not sure thats up for debate, personaly i think i would have stoped it too.

    Didn't anybody else see the left hook Hardonk landed to put him down? He didn't go down from the leg kick, though those didn't look too fun.

    Watch it again though. I don't know how Rogan and whats his name missed it.

    Yeah he definitely went down from the punch. I think Rogan actually did point it out in the replay.

    Yeah, Hardonk caught him with the left and he went down. He could have been all over him if the ref hadn't stopped it. When Robinson tried to get up and went back down on his face - he was clearly incapable of defending himself. You have to stop it. If this was Pride - he could have been kicked in the head - and the way Hardonk was laying those kicks in was simply murderous.

    It was an early stoppage, but not one you can really fault. It was still within the realm of acceptability.

    He wasn't defending himself, Hardonk had free reign over him and the ref prevented it. Its like turning your back, even if you aren't hurt the fight has to be stopped because you aren't defending yourself.

    The man couldn't stand up. Had the fight continued, he would have just eaten a huge knee to the head. The knockout would have been more spectacular and Robinson would have been more hurt. So, yeah, it was in the ref's best interest to stop that thing.

    Early stoppage? Hardonk didn't jump on him because he knew he was done, he could have made it alot worse.
