That was premature no doubt about it. He's gotta be in that position a little longer before you can stop it when he is blocking punches. The ref never gave him a chance the punch was just a stun... you have to see if Rivera is quitting by letting it go at least another couple seconds.
terrible stoppage i hate to see fighters get robbed after all their hard training,nothing worse than early stopages,dante seemed like a really cool guy on TUF.shame to see him get robbed like that.
the only thing worse than an early stoppage is a late stoppage where some real damage has happened, just cuz a fighter complains that it was stopped early doesn't mean it wasn't justified-Tim Sylvia complained when it was stopped after his arm was snapped in half-besides You think he seemed like a really cool guy? BULLSHIT unless you think a piece of shit like that wholikes to talk shit -of yeah and can't back it up-to the youngest and most inexperienced guy in house is what a cool guy is.
think ref should stopped it if he got knocked out....can't tell by the angle but it like the fight between rampage jackson v chuck liddell. Chuck was out for a second then woke up
this fagget is fr0om jackson nj, the fagget tha got knocked out, big surprise, fucking clown

I don't think people know Paul's power? An All-American wrestler at Iowa, tells you right there he's as tough as they come! Nice job ref.

If he was fine then he should have defended himself. Doesn't matter anyway, all it did was save dante a beating.
