UFC 146 - Nelson/Herman

Roy Nelson is like a heavyweight Kendall Grove, hanging around the middle of the pack and doing just enough to not get cut. Props to Roy on his KO victory over Dave Herman last night, but I think it was an early stoppage. Yes, I saw Roy’s hand connect with his temple, and yes I saw Herman’s body go limp and hit the ground. But Herman was given no chance to recover, which he clearly did and quickly. If you’re going to stop a fight the moment a fighter goes limp, that’s fine but it has to be consistent across the board. Frank fell backwards like a tree and was given two chances to recover and Herman was given zero. CB pounded holes in the side of a defenseless Mayhem’s head and the fight still wasn’t stopped. Herman hit the ground for two seconds, fight over. It wasn’t consistent. Whatever.
