As each round passed and Stipe Miocic continued to unload on Mark Hunt in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night headliner, the MMA community seemed to reach a general consensus:
Somebody, whether it be the referee, the cageside physician or even Hunt’s corner, needed to stop the fight. That included UFC President Dana White, who expressed his sentiments in typical fashion via Twitter.
Tom Wright, the UFC’s Managing Director of Operations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, echoed White’s sentiments at Saturday’s post-fight press conference, albeit in a more reserved manner.
“I’m not a referee, but from my perspective I think they probably could have stopped it earlier,” he said.
