Marina Rodriguez on loss at UFC Vegas 64: ‘Stopped too soon!’

Marina Rodriguez is frustrated with her third-round TKO loss to Amanda Lemos at UFC Vegas 64 this past Saturday.

Rodriguez was stunned by Lemos, who tagged her with a right hand before following up with a flurry of punches that led to referee Jason Herzog stepping in and stopping the fight, much to the chagrin of the Brazilian. She immediately protested the stoppage, which she felt was too early.

In her first post-fight comments, Rodriguez expressed her frustration with the stoppage again, writing on Twitter that being in such a precarious position is all ‘part of the game’.
