Finally saw this today. I hope Riley smashes Nelson in the rematch and that that referee is left on the amateur circuit.

WTF was the ref doing way over the other side of the cage?

Awful, awful stoppage.

[Thaispider]

my good god , this is the first time i have seen this that was just a appaling stoppage

[Meshuggeth]

Riley should have no problem pulling out a nasty KO

[stitch1z]

I suppose it's no surprise I haven't seen that ref before/since then...

[Brad.Taschuk]

I remember hearing about how bad that stoppage was, but that's the first time I've ever actually seen it.

Terrible.

At least it means that Riley's betting odds improved significantly over their last fight. Just like last time, I'm picking Riley by decision. Nelson is tough to finish, and Aaron doesn't have the heaviest hands in the world.

Yeah, this is the first time I'd ever seen it as well, figured you guys would be interest in seeing such a botch job. And you're right Brad, hopefully Riley's odds are good because he takes a properly reffed bout with Nelson by decision (IMO).

LOL @ Riley's reaction though, it's perfect. Nelson's reaction was over the top though, he acted like he won by devastating highlight finish, when in reality that fight was one that should be swept under the rug and forgotten about.

wow i never saw that.....that was terrible.....riley was like wtf im fine

[vikingpride]

Yep i'm in the majority here who haven't seen it. That was god awful. I mean really WTF? First off the initial punch seemed to push him down as opposed to knock him down. Then he got him a few times on the ground while Riley was spinning to recover guard, but never really hurt Riley in the slightest. Then the last one didn't even land.

Quick someone edit that GIF. There needs to be a cartoon bubble coming from Riley post fight saying "WTF?"

I guess when this guy was getting his certification they skipped the difference between a knockdown and getting knocked down when someone caught your kick.
