I recorded the fight and just rewatched it in slow motion, his hands never fell to the side. He was flailing, did the elbows land, yes. But there was no damage done. Griffin defended the same way as Ken the difference was Ken was pinned against the cage. It was a bad stoppage.
I just love all these noob TUF fans. They know better than the ref, and if the disagree with the call, it's a work.

Lance is an actual MMA fighter, and I agree completely with him, and the call.

You have no idea what damage a 220 to 230lbs man slamming an elbow repeatedly into your face can do. Yes, 220 to 230, that's how much weight they gain back after their weigh in at 205lbs.

KEN DID NOT DEFEND AT ALL. Good stoppage.
