UFC exec Tom Wright: Magny vs. Lombard 'should've been stopped' in round 2

Neil Magny's huge win over Hector Lombard at UFC Brisbane was marred by referee Steve Perceval's decision to not stop the fight late in round 2, and UFC executive Tom Wright concurs with the majority that the fight shouldn't have entered round 3.

In the UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Mir co-main event in Brisbane, welterweight contender Neil Magny rallied from a pair of knockdowns to become the first man to ever stop Hector Lombard. The wild contest ended early in the 3rd round with Magny in a mounted triangle and pounding away at an exhausted and battered Lombard.
