What was the ref doing?

How long was she out before he stopped it, watch her legs, the first one falls ten seconds before he stops it and the second didn’t fall immediately but was obviously limp!

I know it’s not Asian MMA, but I was at an event recently where the ref was accused of being too quick to pull the trigger on a couple of occasions, but in an amateur event the fighters well being must be given priority, this is a sport, the chances are in a lot of the smaller fight nights in Asia nobody has proper insurance if anything should go wrong and on Monday morning many of the fighters are due back at work! These events are fun. The simple fact is Kim Couture as a professional was let down badly by the official, luckily for all involved there was no permanent damage.
