In a 170lb clash between two highly touted young prospects, Johny Hendricks pounded out Amir Sadollah in less than two minutes.
The fight was so short that they repeated the entire thing immediately after the fight.
Announcer Joe Rogan called it a bad stoppage by referee Dan Miragliotta.
The crowd booed the quick stoppage as Rogan interviewed the winner. Hendricks said "I didn't stop it."
The welterweight bout pitted The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 winner Amir Sadollah (1-0) against Team Takedown fighter and two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion Johny Hendricks (5-0).

Dan should be terminated on the spot.
That was horrible.

I suggest “Dan puts head in ass for Hendricks TKO”

What did Miragliotta want him to do?
Roll over and curl up into a ball? He was trying to get up.
No bueno.

I think people need to look at when the ref starts to move in to make the stoppage. It looks like Amir is taking shots to the head while on his knees. Then after the ref moves to stop it he starts to stand up. Its not a good stoppage but its definately not the worst ive ever seen.
Please, get rid of Miragliota
This isn’t the first time he did that, and wont be the last. And meanwhile Big John refering in small shows and Bully Beatdown…
UFC 101 Results: Johny Hendricks Combs Amir Sadollah’s Hair to Yet Another Miragliotta Fuck-Up
Fixed the title for you Nate.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

I have to watch it again
But I believe Miragliotta was in the worst position to stop that fight. In a straight line with Hendricks between him and Sadollah, rather than in a triangular position. If that’s the case, there’s no way he could have actually SEEN whether or not Sadollah needed referee intervention.
No matter how you see it, Dan fucked up big time. If you feel Amir was getting hit by those punches, then Dan should have stopped it to warn Hendricks for hitting Amir continuously in the back of the head. If you have HD, you can clearly see the punches whiffing and Amir keeping down below them looking to stand up.

Brutal, brutal stoppage.
I became a fan of Sadollah after TUF 7 and I was eagerly awaiting the day when he’d fight. After overcoming injury and illness, the day finally came. Instead of getting to see what the possibilities were for him, we were treated to that travesty of an early stoppage.
Sadollah must be wondering what he did in a previous life to deserve this kind of bad karma.
Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated... and truculent!
