I kinda bet money so at first I was butt hurt. So I watched the stoppage like 20 times.
I think it was a good stoppage. The ref's job is to prevent unnecessary damage. Fedor was out. Looks like one of the punches woke him up, but if you look, even when he was turning over, hew as turning in slo mo, and he wasn't really defending well enough to avoid more bombs from Hendo. If Herb would've let it go a bit longer, Fedor would be out cold and would've absorbed unnecessary damage. Herb knows when it's over. And even though the fans would rather see a more decisive "lights out" KO, it is what it is. Fedor got taken out.
I guess you can argue it was a littel early, but not to the point that it would've affected the outcome.
