Too Little Too Late..

Thirty.
That’s how many unanswered punches Brock Lesnar pounded into the face of Randy Couture, before Ref Mayio Yamasaki stepped in and called the fight.
Go Go Gadget Face Smash!
At the UFC 91 post-fight conference Dana White was, in reference to the Yamasaki’s stoppage (or lack thereof), was quoted as saying:
“The ref [Mario Yamasaki] was going, ‘Eh, is [Couture] OK?’ Mario was trying to give him time [to recover]. There’s a fine line between that and [allowing] too many punches. When I saw Randy go back down, I thought we had crossed that line.”
While some MMA pundits are trying to rouse controversy out of this situation, it’s more of a no harm no foul situation. When asked about it at the conference, Lesnar played it off by saying he was waiting for the stoppage while Couture said it was all good, he just couldn’t dodge Lesnar’s Go-Go Gadget arms. One good counter-point to this situation, was brought up by out pals at MMAMania who expressed concern that the brutality of the fight ending face smashing could scar the possibility of having more events publicized by ESPN, who covered UFC: 91 in an unprecedented fashion. As far as major sports coverage is concerned, we’ll just have to wait and see. But in the meantime, go go gadget away!
