I still feel bummed about this fight, I'm such a fan of both guys, no outcome would have made me happy.

Yeah, thanks Wavetar. I'm glad Herb is standing behind his decision.

Good ear! He heard it snap!

Yeah, Herb, Big John and Mario are all good refs. Steve Mazzagatti, on the other hand...

the fedor stoppage was great.

so, not an entirely bad night for herb.

when you do a face plant into the canvas a lay limp for about a second and a half...eat two shots you are KTFO. Out. End of fight...so good for Herb Dean.

Ever wonder why with all the cameras around the cage, not one showed Fedor as he got stood up?? Showtime trying to hold on to its investment just a little longer?

Shamrock comment how Fedor could barely stand, Herb dean commented he reached out to hold Fedor up cause he thought was going to fall. But sadly not one cameraman thought to catch this on film??

I wondered. I didn't know which commentator was saying it because it was just audio, but I do remember them saying, "Fedor is out of it." I wanted to see for myself.

It's not just Herb's comments or the commentators we have to go by, but also the response of the live crowd. You know how vocal and loud they get if they think someone won or lost unfairly. From what I could hear right after Herb's stoppage and then when Dan and Fedor answered ?s in the cage, the audience was pretty calm.
