I agree that the reffing in the Kimbo fight was sketchy, but there have also been similar instances of questionable judgment calls over stoppages even in UFC fights.

EVERY stoppage on the card was questionable for thier high profile fighters. The Carrano fight, the Lawler fight, the Kimbo fight, ALL very questionable stoppages.
Comparing that show to a UFC event... oh man it just sucks that it wasn't the UFC that got that network TV date. The world needs to see BJ Penn or GSP, not Kimbo.
