Bad Stops in MMA

Name some of the worst stops you've seen in a fight

Ones I dont understand would be

Chuck Liddell vs Kevin Randleman.. you call that a KO???

Ken Shamrock vs Tito Ortiz 2.. Pretty much told every wrestler out there that they can pull an easy win by just takin a guy down and throwin there elbows at them as fast as they can, 2 seconds later you'll get the win

Ken Shamrock vs Sakuraba.. you call that a KO????

Ken v Sak was pretty bad
Baroni v Tanner 1 was horrible

matt lindland vs pat miletich
-matt lindland successfully KOed miletich's forearms

ken/tito 2
-'nuff said

arlovski vs. cabbage
-just a crap call. what really bugs me about it is that its on Ultimate Knockouts

there's been more but those are the only ones that come to mind

Wow i was about to jump up here and start a debate wit you about Liddell/Randleman but it happens to be one of the fights I have in my Library at this point (Thank you Bullock and Ace8028 you guys help make this board what it is;"The best MMA forum on the net") and after rewatching it again. I gotta say im kinda torn. Your right Big John prolly stopped it two punches two soon, but if you watch the ending sequence Chuck lands the BIG LEFT then another right and left, Kevin is down, Chuck goes to land another big right and Big John steps in and stops it. If Chuck lands that BIG right on a wide open unprotected Kevin Randleman what are the possiblities? Concussion? Brain Damage? Death? who knows i just know from watching the replay if Big John doesnt push Chuck off before that punch lands bad things would have happened to Randleman. Lets play devils advocate and say the wide open Right doesnt KTFO Kevin you know that there woulda been a Flurry of Lefts and Rights to completely destroy Randleman, all Big John did was spare him a couple of possilbly paralizing blows. After that Left followed by the right and left Kevin was done anyway you look at it. As far as Tito/Ken 2 it was prolly stopped alittle soon really not that much affect from the 3 or 4 elbows but again what was goin to happen if Herb didnt stop it? Kenny eating about 10 more bows and it being stop. He really didnt defend em just like Randleman wasnt defending and you gotta call it when one guy is getting free shots at the other this aint no Rocky movie. Ken/Sak i dunno but in my opinion if one guys attempts to leave the fighting area he is prolly quiting.

This is kind of off-topic but, AfroSamurai, have you ever considered putting a picture of Eddie Griffin as the "Undercover Brother" character as your avatar? It would look funny as hell, and hey, he did do some martial arts in the movie. And lets not forget the afro he was sportin'.

but theres also the possibility of Kevin rolling over and Chuck ending up on his back, I know Ken and Randleman were in bad positions and would of likely gotten beat anyways.. but I wanna see it! im sick of fights gettin stopped that damn early just because the UFC wants to keep there fighters safe.. they know the damn risks when they fight, they would rather have every chance to win then be safe im sure.. what bugs me the most about the Randleman "KO" if you want to call it that is how Randleman look unphased.. why? cuz he was only rocked, how do you get KO'd and pop up that fast and look like ur unhurt? its bullcrap.. And ive seen Chuck's GnP before.. the chances of him knockin a conseus Randleman out are maybe 50% at best.. and Randleman looked conseus, Big John just reacted waaay too fast.
