They said what?! Pros react to awful stoppage of Ankalaev vs. Cutelaba at UFC Norfolk

Ion Cutelaba was seemingly wobbly, but not out at UFC Norfolk.

After eating some hard shots from Magomed Ankalaev, it seemed like it was only a matter of time until the ‘Hulk’ got knocked out, but he was still up and throwing shots when referee Kevin McDonald stepped in and waved off the fight only 38 seconds into the first round. On Twitter, pro fighters did not agree with the result.

I disagree with that stoppage Cutelaba looked fine immediately after the stoppage, he immediately got his legs legs back after the ref stopped it, Bisping might be right he might’ve been baiting Ankalaev to rush him.
