While more than a few observers thought the UFC Vegas 111 headliner might have been halted prematurely, Gabriel Bonfim believes the stoppage was just.
The Brazilian earned his fourth consecutive promotional triumph on Saturday when he defeated Randy Brown via knockout at the 1:40 mark of the second stanza. “Marretinha” rocked his adversary with a knee in close quarters, and Brown appeared to be rendered unconscious before waking up as he bounced off the canvas. Though Brown appeared to be covering up when Bonfim went to land follow-up strikes, referee Mark Smith had seen enough to wave off the contest.
