To me the stoppage was fine. I'm sure that he could have turtled for another 15 seconds but that's not really the point of MMA is it? Werdum had him in full mount and was raining away with punches, whether or not Vera says he's ok or not, he wasn't doing anything other than turtling.
As for the Miragliotta, he has shown some inconsistency in the past few weeks which doesn't help the situation. He lets Kimbo take 20-30 unanswered, undefended, helpless shots and doesn't call it and he calls it when Vera takes a few shots and blocks a few.
In my mind the call on Vera is within the guidelines, the only thing that bugs me is the inconsistency.
