Dominick Cruz had a serious problem with the stoppage in his fight against Henry Cejudo at UFC 249 and he’s pointing the finger squarely at the referee.
The end came in the second round after Cejudo blasted Cruz with a knee strike that sent the former bantamweight champion crashing to the canvas. Cejudo followed up with a flurry of punches as Cruz was trying to get back to his feet.
Before he could stand again, referee Keith Peterson stepped in to call a stop to the contest. As Cejudo celebrated, Cruz immediately lodged a complaint.
