UFC exec 'concerned' over late stoppage in Neil Magny win over Hector Lombard

The beating UFC welterweight Neil Magny gave Hector Lombard at UFC Fight Night 85 was so prolonged, it actually set a record. Magny landed 100 ground strikes, setting a new UFC mark. The American also scored 142 strikes landed in round two, the third-most ever in a single UFC round.

Many observers wondered why referee Steve Perceval - no stranger to controversy for previous quick stand-ups and missed groin strikes - didn't stop as Magny landed waves of unanswered shots in the second round on Lombard, who was on his belly and barely using his hands to cover his face and head.
