A terrible stoppage brings this fight to a close prematurely. Not sure where we would have gone, but 6 strikes and a sub is not much of a fight. But at least its a forehead cut this time and not a damned chin cut. Them's be our worst cut stoppages. Who stops a fight from a damned chin cut? Like, ever? In the history of MMA? (If anyone can find me a chin cut stoppage from real life, you can have a point)
