I just got done watching the 3/17/07 showing of Sabres vs. Condors. I saw a fight between Jeremy Williams and Kazuhiro Hamanaka and i was amazed on how late the stoppage came from Referee Steve Mazzagatti. Jeremy Williams got Kazuhiro in a deep triangle choke and there was no tap. Well he obviously passed out because for 8 straight seconds i watched as his body was struggling for oxygen. The man was obviously out, yet the ref let it go on for far too long. And then Bas Rutten was like "ohh its just a choke he's ok..."
Steve Mazzagatti is an a$$

#1- He's not an ass
#2- He lets fighters go a little longer and gives them more chances than other refs.
#3- Bas is correct, nobody's ever suffered a serious injury from it.
Finally #4- He kept grabbing his hand and his body wasn't limp at all. I see nothing wrong with the stoppage.
