Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images “That’s a bad stoppage.” Joe Rogan shouted those words just after Dan Ige put Sean Woodson away with a barrage of hammer fists in the third round back at UFC 314 . The end came with Ige blasting away with several hard shots and Woodson looking for a desperation takedown before he ate numerous punches in succession before the referee decided he’d seen enough. It wasn’t until after he got backstage that Ige heard that there was some kind of controversy attached to his fight with reporters telling him that the commentary team praised his performance but ultimately criticized the referee for making a bad call stopping the fight.
