Okay, so that finish is shit, but in fairness to it (unlike the Silva-Franklin fight), Brock was HURT at the time. Chuck landed a few hard shots, and Brock was in the deep red and reelin'. But he still had some life left (lots, as he is a proven champion), and the shitty stoppage comes. Bummer. But on that same note, congrats to Chuck Liddell on what I believe is his first ManMMA title win.
