Yes by god, they better beware!

If you roll into the foetal position and let the other guy punch you 26 times without responding you are going to lose the fight.

Would you really, in all honesty want it any other way? Would you really want the fighters to know if they cover up and roll into a ball that the fight wasn't going to get stopped and they had a nice break to recover?

Come on... really?

Werdum mounted him and was punching his face at will.....Well maybe he should pull out a pistol and start to shoot Vera in the head............

I find the fanboys here to be absolutely amazing... I am assuming you guys know the rules right?

Both fighters agreed to the rules before the match, he had to know what was going to happen if he didn't move and got pounded on like that.

Brandon "the foetal position" Vera lost, get over it and move on.

wtf, he didn't even hurt him

worst stoppage in mma history

in your oppinion vitor vs tito should have been stopped too (in the second round) right? or hunt vs bobish! get out of here!

werdum would probably have won the fight anyway, but the stoppage was complete bs, vera was nowhere near out.

he wasn´t defending himself intelligently . that is enough to the ref. stop the fight. Werdum was pounding his face at will.

He got his guard passed quickly and put up weak defense. Blame has to fall on Vera.

Well, maybe next time his game plan won´t include being mounted and pounded on for the rest of the round...
