I hate the "Well Masivdal was winning anyway" excuses. It's a shit stoppage by the doctor and you never know what happens in the 4th or the 5th. As someone mentioned, Masvidal was going back to his corner with his hands on his head after the 3rd. He was starting to gas a little bit. Nate very well could have started to turn the tide, pieced him up, taken his back, and choked him out. We don't know. It was a 5 round fight that we only got to see 3 rounds of because of a shit stoppage.
I'm not taking anything away from Masvidal. He looked great and it's not his fault the doctor stopped it, but I'm sure he'd say he didn't want to win that way either.
