I'm gonna get tired of explaining this but, Cote was unable to continue the fight therefore Anderson gets declared the winner. The injury was not due to an accidental illegal strike which would have caused the fight to be ruled a NC nor did the injury occur on an illegal strike which would of resulted in a DQ.
A ref can stop a fight and declare a winner if a fighter appears to have developed significant injuries in the referee's view, such as a broken bone.
