Jared Cannonier is not happy with referee Jason Herzog’s stoppage in his UFC on ESPN 57 main event loss to Nassourdine Imavov.
Cannonier (17-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) suffered a fourth-round TKO loss to Imavov (14-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) – but many have questioned its validity, given the nature of the stoppage. Cannonier was still standing, had his hands up, and at times was even swinging back at Imavov. Yet, Herzog decided to stop the fight in the fourth round of the contest.
Cannonier, who was up on two of the three judges’ scorecards, thinks he was robbed from a win.
